Antoine Wilson's Name Up in Lights


Notice anything Wisconsin-y in this electric wall celebrating Los Angeles writers at this year's Guadalajara Book Fair? That's former Smith Fiction Fellow Antoine Wilson's name in huge white lights among all the other (blue) luminaries.

Antoine's quote reads: Once I was driving by Olympic and San Vincente. It was a cool evening but it wasn't cold. I saw a homeless man pushing a shopping cart down the street, with the most amazing fire in it. This huge fire, just pushing his cart along. I thought: there it is. That's it. That is L.A. This is one big piece off the pie chart.
