| Description |
Reading Mike Davis's work on Los Angeles is like passing by a train wreck-it's too awful to look at, but you just can't tear your eyes away. That Davis has set out to examine the physical destruction of the city over time (due to, among other environmental and human forces, earthquakes, fires, mudslides, floods, droughts, tornadoes, vermin, plagues, riots, paramilitary policing, de-industrialization, public-sector disinvestment, and lots and lots of bulldozers) makes the train wreck analogy especially resonant; his exquisite accounts of the social and political destruction of Los Angeles, however, prove to be the far more unbearable attraction.
