ADVANCE PRAISE

"City of Angles is an uplifting look at a side of Los Angeles too little seen in fiction. Like John Fante, Loving turns a compassionate and comic eye on the downtrodden and elevates them in his assured debut." 

-- Ivy Pochoda, author of These Women

​

"Like the Book of Job as envisioned by Nathaniel West, City of Angles reminds us that when we disdain the needy, we inevitably become one ourselves. A spellbinding, original work."

—Chip Jacobs, author of Arroyo

​

"A big-hearted book, full of memorable characters, crackling scenes, and superbly evoked settings, its well-wrought prose sprinkled with tears and spiced with laughs. An unforgettable debut."

--Charles Harper Webb, author of Sidebend World

​

"Vivid, shimmering prose ... a novel for our time ... both impressive in its literary integrity and bold in its vision ... a work of empathy and compassion."

--MJ Moore, author of For Paris, With Love and Squalor

​

"Hope and love fill these pages, a modern epic set under the pitiless Southern California skies.”

--Don Cummings, author of Bent But Not Broken
