The latest issue of the End of a Perfect Day finds Damian biking and hopping trains around Los Angeles and the Southern California area. In his typical literary style, he describes exploring a land of wild peacocks, crisscrossing freeways and asphalt, and the inevitable frustration of biking in a sprawling metropolitan area. Damian's search for community in Los Angeles eventually proves fruitful, and we are introduced to another layer of Southern California culture as seen by our transient narrator.
