Los Angeles is a place where, in order to live sanely, one has to cultivate the art of staying awake. One must learn to resist (firmly but not tensely) the unceasing hypnotic suggestions of the radio, the billboards, the movies and the newspapers... those demon voices which are forever whispering in one's ear what one should desire, what one should fear, what one should wear and eat and drink and enjoy, what one should think and do and be.
