Our latest release: Oscar Mandel's LAST PAGES.
------
"What do I find in Last Pages that might make me want to tell my friend, ‘Here, you should read this?’ To this question there are several answers—as one would expect, given Mandel’s range—but perhaps they can be summed up in two adjectives: witty and grim…. There is abundant wit in the play The Fatal French Dentist… [and] the two stories are clever parodies…. Yes, although Mandel describes himself as essentially cheerful, he is not always so. He can be profoundly serious, especially in his poetry, which is masterful.” — Jake Fuchs in @lareviewofbooks

This is a FREE event that you really don't want to miss! Esparza and Callow look beyond the widely-touted food trends to celebrate the authentic traditions that are the legacy of a multitude of food cultures. Both long-time Angelenos are confirmed believers that Los Angeles has always been a food city, and that our city is just now waking up to its culinary brilliance. #losangeles #lafoodie #lafood #cookbook #reallosangeles #angeleno

If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.
