Softcover. Condition: Good. Reprint. Product DescriptionFrom bestselling author Gary Krist, the story of the metropolis that never should have been and the visionaries who dreamed it into realityLittle more than a century ago, the southern coast of California-bone-dry, harbor-less, isolated by deserts and mountain ranges-seemed destined to remain scrappy farmland. Then, as if overnight, one of the worlds iconic cities emerged. At the heart of Los Angeles meteoric rise were three flawed visionaries: William Mulholland, an immigrant ditch-digger turned self-taught engineer, designed the massive aqueduct that would make urban life here possible. D.W. Griffith, who transformed the motion picture from a vaudeville-house novelty into a cornerstone of American culture, gave L.A. its signature industry. And Aimee Semple McPherson, a charismatic evangelist who founded a religion, cemented the citys identity as a center for spiritual exploration.All were masters of their craft, but also illusionists, of a kind. The images they conjured up-of a blossoming city in the desert, of a factory of celluloid dreamworks, of a community of seekers finding personal salvation under the California sun-were like mirages liable to evaporate on closer inspection. All three would pay a steep price to realize these dreams, in a crescendo of hubris, scandal, and catastrophic failure of design that threatened to topple each of their personal empires. Yet when the dust settled, the mirage that was LA remained.Spanning the years from 1900 to 1930, The Mirage Factory is the enthralling tale of an improbable city and the people who willed it into existence by pushing the limits of human engineering and imagination.ReviewA Washington Post Notable Book of 2018An NPR Best Book of 2018An Amazon Best Book of 2018"[Krist] marshals his considerable storytelling skills to capture Los Angeles at a critical moment.expertly weav[ing] together the stories of Griffith, Mulholland and McPherson.But above all Krist is a nimble scene-setter, and it's the indelible details he offers that give The Mirage Factory its mesmerizing pull.You'll finish it entertained, informed and satisfied, as well as ready for more." --The New York Times"As a writer, Krist is a dream-weaver.exquisite pacing and seamless shifting between the characters allow their stories to connect.I've read dozens of histories of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, and none are as viscerally compelling or as clear in detailed descriptions of the complicated machinations as Krist's account.Krist's book is so good that, like the best movies, it ends up inverting the genre." --The Washington Post"Krist draws upon some of the best books about the era and its people, enriching them with a virtuoso deploying of detail gathered from deep dives into the primary material.Watered with imagination and invention, some mirages evidently can sink their roots deeply into reality." --The New York Times Book Review"[An] elegant and expansive study.Krist illuminates a compelling version of the city's drawing-board years.The Mirage Factory tunnels to the roots of [L.A.'s] invention narratives, identifying the individual threads, and shows how they began to work in tandem to create a fantastic tapestry." -- The Los Angeles Times"Colorful and fresh.The Mirage Factory is great not only for the wealth of obscure facts Krist manages to weave into his tale of his three larger-than-life figures but also for the evocative word pictures of old Los Angeles and Hollywood he conjures up.My only complaint after finishing the book was: more, please." --LA Weekly"The crimes of Los Angeles, in the hands of Gary Krist, have now filled a fat, juicy volume.The Mirage Factory is essential reading for the understanding and enjoyment of America's dream factory." --The Philadelphia Inquirer"Engrossing.Krist serves up intricate stories, rich period atmosphere, and colorful personalities to capture the zeitgeist of this eventful period.
