So if you're curious where the title of this blog comes from, see the above picture. It's not my favorite book, but it's written by one of my favorite authors. I cite her compilation Dangerous Angels as a "book" favorite, which is totally cheating because it's five books in one. Can't say which in there is my true favorite, but I know I love the first story-- Weetize Bat (and the only one written in the lovely 1980s)-- since it's the one I've read the most. The author of the books, Francesca Lia Block, is the daughter of a poet and a painter, which explains, or at least accurately describes, her writing: it's not prose so much as poetic genre paintings, although the day-to-day she describes is her vision of a trip-tastic, hippie-driven LA, CA. Love it.
