Land of Smoke and Mirrors: A Cultural History of Los Angeles
Vincent Brook
Examines greater Los Angeles through the images projected from within and without its geographical and psychological borders. Divided into sections that probe the city's checkered history and reflect on Hollywood's own self reflections, this offers revealing readings of different types of texts to expose how Los Angeles is blowing away some of the smoke of its not always proud past and rhetorically adjusting its rear-view mirrors.
