Piecing Together Los Angeles: An Esther McCoy Reader

Edited and introduced by Susan Morgan, Piecing Together Los Angeles: An Esther McCoy Reader is the debut book title from East of Borneo, and the first collection of writings by Esther McCoy (1904-1989). This launch event will feature a discussion of McCoy’s extensive writing life between writer and publication editor Susan Morgan, architecture and design critic Alexandra Lange, and artist Andrew Spence. The conversation will be preceded by a screening of Dodge House 1916 (1965), a short film directed by Robert Snyder and written and produced by Esther McCoy as part of her campaign to preserve one of California architect Irving Gill's great houses.
