Hotel Fiesta

Lynn Emanuel

I've been a fan of Lynn Emanuel's for coming up on two decades now. So when I stumbled upon this early release in a Half Price Books a few weeks back, I was ecstatic. It was everything I expected it to be-- obsessive over detail, witty, pleasantly surprising on a regular basis. Lynn Emanuel, folks, is good stuff.

"If his face were halved by shadow I would know This was a street where an EATS sign trembled And a Greek served coffee black as a dog's eye. " (--"Inventing Father in Las Vegas")

Definitely worth grabbing, if you see it.
