GANG, yesterday the Los Angeles news/media website LA Observed made the first public announcement of the book that grows out of my Salon series. Here it is.
The book’s working title is Creative Destruction: How the 21st Century is Killing the Creative Class, and Why It Matters.
There’s a lot up on the LAObs post, so I’ll leave that to explain the project. (Here are links to individual parts of the creative class series as well as my interview on Studio 360 With Kurt Andersen.)
I should add that the photo of yours truly was taken by Steven Dewall, a photographer I’ve long been acquainted with who will have at least an occasional presence here on The Misread City.
Please stay tuned.
I’ll try to spend less time reading articles and forum posts, and more time actually applying the advice I read.
