Kevin Moffett said that this is the LA book so I had to read it now that I live there. I wasn’t fully captivated if I’m being honest. But that’s LA I guess! He does capture something bumbling about this city, how people sort of flit around and will do anything for a pretty illusion. I have no real comment on Miss Lonelyhearts, that one was not my vibe.
