From the Author:
I wanted to capture the black los angeles of the seventies.
What I hope I've done with living for the city is conjure up the black Los Angeles I grew up in during the seventies without all the gangster hype but showing that world as bittersweet as it was. Many of these stories were written when I was a teenager living that life. Also, Living for the city can be read as a companion to Understand This in that some of those characters are here in Living For the City.
