In writing this book, the ethnographer became an insider; Deener lived as a resident of Venice for close to six years.

From the marshy savannahs of the Pacific coastal tidelands sprang the most amazing Venetian resort of the post-Victorian era.

A charming introduction to the inspired and inspiring cottages and bungalows of Venice, California.

Death in Venice, California, takes the burning concept of yearning-as-motivator, jams it into the craw of a staid, entitled central character, and sets him loose, unmoored, in the modern world.

This book is a reminiscence that celebrates Venice, California's heyday as an alternative community and what survives from it in the present.
