Jimmy The Pen (aka The Beast) Marquez, author of the critically acclaimed collection A Moveable Beast: Tales from L.A. & Beyond (LuLu, 2016), is back with his 16th offering to the literary gods that came before him: Among The Beasts: Coronavirus Edition Part Deux!. Jim took four years off to get his head straight: To recover from the death of his mother. To sell the old family house. To get over a woman who nearly shattered him. To mourn the shock of getting fired from his adult teaching gig. He had to escape to Europe. A life-long dream. Six months living in Paris did the trick. So, naturally he wrote a book about Los Angeles (and a couple other cities). A bevy of beastly true-life tales about booze, women, violence, corruption, gambling, racism, death, sex, loss, love, broken hearts and the broken amongst us. In this collection (his 16th w/LuLu) we see through Jim's red, rummy eyes the denizens of San Francisco, Koreatown, Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West LA, Alhambra, Monterey Park, Montebello, San Gabriel, East Pasadena, Las Vegas, Laughlin, The Arizona Desert, Dublin, Paris, Berlin & Cologne, and dive into the Coronavirus itself. Wickedly inspired. Foul. Whiskey soaked. Desperate. Angry. Lonesome. Sexy. Wistful. Vengeful. These are but a few of the words that come to mind as you too make your way among the beasts.
