Why read it?
1 author picked City at the Edge of Forever as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I fell in love with Los Angeles in 1983 when I immigrated from Mexico, young, penniless, and ignorant, to start an ad agency for the Latinx community.

From María's list on changing your perception of Los Angeles.
