New Video: Pat Hartman and Ghost Town PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 08 March 2006
Pat Hartman's second book set in Venice, California, Ghost Town is a nickname for the Oakwood district of Venice known for being a dangerous place. Dangerous, but the rents were cheap.

Part Hartman raised her daughter in Ghost Town. This is a memoir of her time there in the early 1980s. Ghost Town is a microcosm of the Venice experience, complete with colorful characters, rampant crime, and a family scene at the very edge of the American experience.

Pat helped shepherd many writers, including me, as editor of Salon: A Journal of Aesthetics. You can find back issues at her web site. Today, she continues to make the establishment uncomfortable with her thoughtful essays at EarthBlog -- including a rant against circumcision that is painful to read!
