The intersection of the arts and politicts has a rich history in LA, and there's
no better person to illuminate that history than author and journalist
Lionel Rolfe. In his book
Literary L.A.--just out in a revised
and expanded third edition---Rolfe reveals the history of L.A.'s forgotten
literary scene. From Charles Bukowski to Robinson Jeffers, Aldous Huxley
to Nathanael West, Rolfe describes the authors who made L.A. home and looks
at the stories and struggles behind the creation of a culture. Rolfe
is also the author of
Bread and Hyacinths: The& Rise and Fall of
Utopian Los Angeles and
Fat Man on the Left: Four Decades in the Underground. Alexander Dobuzinskis interviewed Rolfe for IMC-LA.
Rolfe will be at Skylight Books for a book signing on Feb. 3 at 4 p.m., 1818 N. Vermont Ave., Los Feliz,
