Rezensionen
"In order to move between film studies, urban geography and social theory, Maher develops an argument that shows considerable conceptual agility in its capacity to move across worlds to propose that the history of representing LA in film marks a transition in itself from the modern to the postmodern, and from the real to the hyperreal." Professor Terry Flew, University of Sydney, Australia
"Fans of Raymond Chandler and Los Angeles noirs will love this title." - Dr. A. Ebert, popcultureshelf.com
