Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Davis explores the combat zone that is contemporary urban America, a ceaseless battle waged both within cities and against nature. Photos.

Review:

"Los Angeles is Davis's great theme, and continues to be, in Dead Cities, a collection of his urgent, bone-chilling and ultimately very sad essays from the early nineties onward. L.A., the city we built to contain our dreams, has become the stuff of nightmares — plagued by ecological catastrophes, corporate corruption, despair. What do the cities we create say about us? It's not pretty." Adrienne Miller, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)
