Medieval in LA

Meer over het boek

"Each sentence in this genial novel bursts with information, gorgeously put". The New Yorker"A delightfully quirky book....More consistently charming and intelligent than most of us manage to be in a day". San Francisco Chronicle Jim Paul's playful fiction juxtaposes a weekend in Los Angeles with a capsule history of Western thought. A minor mishap Saturday morning -- tomato juice sloshed on white pants -- jars the narrator into a medieval worldview; by Sunday night he has found new insights "at the edge of the West".
