If you have not had a chance to read it - it's totally worth it: it's the 60s LA riots as a retelling of the Odyssey. As someone who loves LA and grew up in South Central Los Angeles reading the novel was thrilling; as it's constantly referring to streets I grew up around and it's all about the LA that I'm most familiar with. Even if you are not familiar with Los Angeles the story is still powerful and the details that are highly specific to Angelenos would I feel not be lost on those not from the area.
