Synopsis Romancing the Southland by : Robert Badal
ROMANCING THE SOUTHLAND is an exciting, attractive new book that guides the reader to the unique, unusual, & romantic, in Southern California. Unlike other history or guidebooks, it lists facts & figures that take the guesswork out of planning any weekend. It's written by Robert Badal, a bona fide authority on romantic getaways who has lectured & conducted tours throughout the Southland since 1978. He's included the best of the best in this volume. It can be read cover to cover or flipped through as you might use any guidebook. There is a categorical index that cross references entries by city &/or subject. It includes multi-cultural events such as Chinese & Persian New Years, Mexican & Indian Independence Days & Nisei Week. It also provides information on natural phenomena such as spring wildflowers & fall colors. Badal avoids the commonplace & celebrates the quirky such as "The Bridge to Nowhere." The book is arranged month by month, throughout the year, detailing concrete advice on the best time to go, where to stay, where to eat. Milestone or seasonal data is used to tell the history, natural landscape or mythology of each area. A must-have for any serious hedonist.

Synopsis Southland by : Nina Revoyr
Nina Revoyr brings us a compelling story of race, love, murder, and history against the backdrop of Los Angeles. —Winner of a 2004 American Library Association Stonewall Honor Award in Literature —Winner of the 2003 Lambda Literary Award —Nominated for an Edgar Award The plot line of Southland is the stuff of a James Ellroy or a Walter Mosley novel . . . But the climax fairly glows with the good-heartedness that Revoyr displays from the very first page. —Los Angeles Times Jackie Ishida’s grandfather had a store in Watts where four boys were killed during the riots in 1965, a mystery she attempts to solve. —New York Times Book Review, included in “Where Noir Lives in the City of Angels” Nina Revoyr brings us a compelling story of race, love, murder, and history against the backdrop of Los Angeles. A young Japanese-American woman, Jackie Ishida, is in her last semester of law school when her grandfather, Frank Sakai, dies unexpectedly. While trying to fulfill a request from his will, Jackie discovers that four black teenagers were killed in the store he ran during the Watts Riots of 1965—and that the murders were never solved or reported. Along with James Lanier, a cousin of one of the victims, she tries to piece together the story of the boys’ deaths. In the process, Jackie unearths the long-held secrets of her family’s history—and her own. Moving in and out of the past, from the shipping yards and internment camps of World War II; to the barley fields of the Crenshaw District in the 1930s; to the means streets of Watts in the 1960s; to the night spots and garment factories of the 1990s, Southland weaves a tale of Los Angeles in all of its faces and forms.
