Angel Town

[light shelfwear to book, just a touch of fraying to upper rear corner; jacket is edgeworn, with a number of tiny nicks and shallow chips, some browning to spine, a bit of paper loss at both ends of spine]. "A novel of youth and Los Angeles today." "The dilemma of young people caught in the conflict between the rich who have known better days and the poor who find themselves suddenly rich serves as the central theme of Charles Grayson's novel of Los Angeles in the early 1940s, and of a group of young men and women trying to find meaning in this place and time." The author worked pretty steadily as a screenwriter in the late 1930s and early 1940s, toiling on a variety of generally undistinguished films, before pivoting more to novels and nonfiction; his final screen credit was on the John Wayne epic THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA in 1948.
