“Compelling…never lacking in vivid detail and authentic atmosphere, the novel cements Revoyr’s reputation as one of the freshest young chroniclers of life in L.A.”

—LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“If Oprah still had her book club, this novel likely would be at the top of her list…With prose that is beautiful, precise, but never pretentious…”

—BOOKLIST (starred review)

“Subtle, effective…[with] a satisfyingly unpredictable climax.”

—WASHINGTON POST

“An engaging, thoughtful book that even East Coasters can enjoy.”

—NEW YORK PRESS

“Southland is a simmering stew of individual dreams, family struggles, cultural relations, social changes, and race relations. It is a compelling, challenging, and rewarding novel.”

—CHICAGO FREE PRESS

“What makes a book like Southland resonate is that it merges elements of literature and social history with the propulsive drive of a mystery, while evoking Southern California as a character, a key player in the tale. Such aesthetics have motivated other Southland writers, most notably Walter Mosley.”
