In PL8SPK, Daniel Nussbaum hilariously retold a collection of classic tales in the brainteasing language of personalized license plates. Once again using only actual registered vanity plates as prose, this native New Yorker who lives in L.A. now writes uproarious stories trying to explain life in Southern California, all in "platespeak," of course.
YMINLA? (Why Am I in L.A.?) is Nussbaum's clever and eccentric new collection based on the perennial rivalry between New York and Los Angeles. Filled with more than a dozen retold stories - SATRDAY NYTE FEVERR, SSUNSET BLVD, 3LILPGS - and inspired portraits of life in both cities, YMINLA? will finally settle the timeless question: N.Y. or L.A.?

From the Publisher:

A wonderfully eccentric exposition of the perennial New York vs. Los Angeles rivalry, rendered in the distinctive dialect Californians have honed to an art form: the language of customized license plates.
