The Los Angeles Review No. 1: Los Angeles Review

We live in an age where to speak may not always be wise. Big Brother is
watching you as you call and as you write. So why not write something that
really stirs up ideas? The enemy for most Americans, the one thing that makes
our lives sordid and uneventful, is the mind numbing life we all live. If our
mind is too numb because we cannot turn off electronic stimulus long enough
to think, then where will good writing come from?

The Los Angeles Review is the voice of Los Angeles, and the voice of the
nation. We will not have one editor who chooses work based on their
idiosyncratic tastes, but instead will bring in a variety of editors for each issue.
This year’s editors are focusing on Language, Silence and Oppression.
