edit data

Richard Risemberg was dragged to Los Angeles as a child, and has been working there in a number of vernacular occupations since his teens while writing poetry, articles, essays, and fiction, editing online 'zines, sneaking around with a camera trying to steal people's souls, and making a general nuisance of himself, which is his forte. He's survived long enough to become either a respected elder or a tedious old fart, depending on your point of view, and is still at it. It hasn't been easy for any of us.

"Hofstadter's Rangers Ride Again!"

Almost every month, on the last Sunday, I join the Street Librarians Ride in central Los Angeles. We meet at a delightful little bookstore and café called Stories, in LA’s storied (in every sense of the word) Echo Park neighborhood, down coffee and pastries, and then saddle up for a slow, easy ride through Echo Park and Silver Lake.

Not really a review.... I've read other of Lee's work before, but have been disappointed in this one: often over-written, as if he were more interested in showing of his skill with sentences than in telling the story, yet also sometimes written with ...more
