by Alison Lurie (Author)
To Los Angeles comes Paul Cattleman, a young historian recently married to Katherine, a delicate girl with a conventional New England background. At first Los Angeles affects the two newcomers very differently. Paul responds immediately to the sunny, sprawling cosmopolitan city; to Katherine, however, the main impression is of dirt and smog which play havoc with the catarrh from which she suffers. But Paul explores his surrondings and discovers Ceci, a girl who could be the incarnation of the city's uninhibited ways, while Katherine meets Iz a psychiatrist who recognises her unhappiness and sets out to help her. . . THE NOWHERE CITY fascinating mixture of first-rate story-telling, humour and exact psychological insight.
