The joint LARB / Los Angeles magazine feature coincides with the release this week of Nicholson's new novel The City Under the Skin.

I have driven past this spot who-knows-how-many times without giving it any thought, but for author Geoff Nicholson it’s more than a mere waypost — it’s an urban ruin that merits our attention.
