The Los Angeles Review, Number 1

We live in an age where to speak may not always be wise. Big Brother iswatching you as you call and as you write. So why not write something thatreally stirs up ideas? The enemy for most Americans, the one thing that makesour lives sordid and uneventful, is the mind numbing life we all live. If ourmind is too numb because we cannot turn off electronic stimulus long enoughto think, then where will good writing come from?The Los Angeles Review is the voice of Los Angeles, and the voice of thenation. We will not have one editor who chooses work based on theiridiosyncratic tastes, but instead will bring in a variety of editors for each issue.This year s editors are focusing on Language, Silence and Oppression."
