Book excerpt: "Tale of 2Cities is a collision of life-stories from New York and Los Angeles spun into an epic mix by a young Echo Park DJ mourning his grandmother's death. A live seance among generations of interwoven characters on both coasts, Tale flashes back to 1957 when the Brooklyn Dodgers abandoned one neighborhood, while in LA another was lost to make way for the transplanted team's new stadium. From the rise of Senator McCarthy to the fall of New York's Twin Towers, Manny's mix summons a lost universe of lives otherwise erased, in a style that owes as much to DJ Shadow as John Steinbeck."--BOOK JACKET.
