The Many Voices of the Los Angeles Novel

edited by Julia Stein

Cambridge Schholars Publishing

Cambridge Scholars Publishing's new volume shows how Los Angeles novels changed greatly beginning in the 1960s as the population of the city became multi-national. For decades, Latino/as have written critical novels of resistance about LA, and, in the 1970s, their novels came of age while influenced by South American magical realism.

The book also highlights that African-Americans have authored brilliant Los Angeles fiction for a number of years, while women transformed novels dealing with Hollywood, detectives, and science fiction. In addition, LGBTQ writers—both Anglos and Chicano/as—have created innovative works, while men’s novels explored 20th century class conflicts and also focus on the oil industry in Los Angeles.
