Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

- Gritty 1960s Nostalgia: L.A. Breakdown overpowers the sterilized portrait of America in the ‘60s. Drag racing, drive-ins, and high school graduations are included but Sandra Dee is nowhere to be seen. The cast of characters immortalize the little-known outlaw culture of 1960s Los Angeles– a culture full of petty theft, incarceration, and the heart pounding thrill of street racing. - Fast and Furious Writing: Lou Mathews writes at a breakneck speed, peeling out with complex characters stuck in limbo after high school with no thoughts of college. Before they know it, the readers are along for the ride, knuckles white and on the edge of their seat. - Los Angeles Summer: California native Lou Mathews is known for his moving portraits of the real California, honoring the experiences of the Hispanic community and those in a lower socioeconomic class. Locals and tourists alike will be fascinated by his depiction of the Los Angeles underworld.- Praise for the Author: Lou Mathews received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Fiction and a California Arts Council Fiction Fellowship. ZYZZYVA called his novel, Shaky Town, “one of the best books of fiction to have come out in recent memory.”
