"Books set in LA are better than books set in NYC." As an author of a book set in L.A. that's currently on submission to publishers, this quote gave me life today. Thank you.

I often refer to LA as an apocalyptic hellhole, but I'm surprised when I find some endearing pocket or ridiculously cool section of the city that I can't help wanting to love. This piece = that. I'll still take my under-market dump of an apartment in North Park any day, but it's fun to pretend.

Sounds like you experienced the Severance version of Rise of the Resistance!

Also, you’re such a great writer, Ryan✨ Your account of Los Angeles is so on point. Can’t wait to go birding with you next time we’re in the same city

You have a knack for making fun things seem awful and awful things seem fun.
