Noted for his Sleazoid Express zine, as well as biographies of directors Kenneth Anger and Joel M. Several people have documented this period in their own way. Both a warzone and a utopia for misfits, this period gave us punk rock, no wave, hardcore as well as experimental fiction, underground comics and grindhouse cinema that emanated from the ruins of the city. Twin boys Jaime and Nicholas head off in different directions-one growing up to become a committed physician, the other a mystic/entrepreneur. Daughter Blanca ignores Class barriers to fall in love with-and bear a child by-the foreman's son, who will later become a famous leftwing troubadour (on the model of Victor Jara).
