Review
“In one volume [Banham] does the near-impossible: He makes us see this fragmented city [of Los Angeles] as a breathing whole.” (Ariel Swartley Los Angeles Magazine 2009-03-01)
“Still as penetrating now as when Banham completed his observations on the city in 1971.” (La Observed 2009-04-24)
“Banham wrote like a blissed-out lover, surrendering to his feelings of derangement and wonder while keeping his eyes wide-open.” (Los Angeles Times 2009-06-21)
“Banham's book has remained au courant.” (Palisadian Post 2009-06-18)
