Gutter Angels contains selections from Larry Fondation's previously published fiction as well as new material. Los Angeles and its inhabitants are shown from 1994 to the present in compact city fables. Humour and pity, but not sentimentality, are present in this welcome addition to Fondation's works.
Larry Fondation has lived in LA since the 1980s and worked for fifteen years as an organizer in South Central Los Angeles, Compton, and East LA. His fiction and non-fiction has appeared in a range of diverse publications including Flaunt (where he is Special Correspondent), Fiction International, Quarterly West, the Los Angeles Times and the Harvard Business Review.
