The Mirage Factory: Illusion, Imagination, and the Invention of Los Angeles by Gary Krist presents the history of Los Angeles from 1900 to 1930 and the history of the three individuals instrumental in the growth of the city. Because of the colorful facts of this history and the storytelling style of the writing, this book makes a quick read. Don't get me wrong. The research and the factual details are all meticulously presented. They are simply packaged in an easy to read, entertaining narrative.
