A wildly original fin de siècle novel of Los Angeles as the Nineties wane and the new millennium looms. Ripe for rediscovery, its depiction of the era is keenly observed, ribaldly entertaining, and slyly impactful. Down-on-his-luck, yet high on life, and everything else under the sun protagonist, Donovan, writes copy for the publisher of a popular encyclopedia of American political history. When he and his artist wife Lila find themselves without a place to live, the trajectory of their survival gyrates through the cultural, economic, political and artistic crosscurrents of their time and place. While ultimately tragic, their journey is as boisterous and acidic in the telling, as its themes and concerns are enduringly relevant. Peeko Pacifiko remains an utterly unique, idiosyncratic, and exuberant weaving of the comic, the political, the gritty, and the phantasmagorical: A living, breathing X-Ray of a city and an era.
