Though he has spent half of his life elsewhere, Gregory Orfalea has remained obsessed with Los Angeles. That brutal, beautiful city along the Pacific sea shaped him and led to a series of essays originally published in the Los Angeles Times Magazine. These deeply moving pieces are gathered here together for the first time.Populated with fascinating charactersthe Angelenos of Orfaleas lifethese essays tell the story of the authors trials. He returns to Los Angeles to teach, trying to reconcile the LA of his childhood with the city he now faces. He takes on progressively more difficult and painful subjects, finally confronting the memories of the shocking tragedy that took the lives of his father and sister.With more than 400,000 Arab Americans in Los Angelesprobably surpassing Detroit as the largest contingent in AmericaOrfalea also explores his own community and its political and social concerns. He agonizes over another destruction of Lebanon and examines in searing detail a massacre of civilians in Iraq.Angeleno Days takes the memoir and personal essay to rare heights. Orfalea is a deeply human writer who reveals not only what it means to be human in America now, but also what it will take to remain human in the days to come. These essays soar, confound, reveal, and strike at our senses and sensibilities, forcing us to think and feel in new ways.
