With The Barbarian Nurseries, Héctor Tobar gives our most misunderstood metropolis its great contemporary novel, taking us beyond the glimmer of Hollywood and deeper than camera-ready crime stories to reveal Southern California life as it really is, across its vast, sunshiny sprawl of classes, languages, dreams, and ambitions.

Great Reader, Captivating Story

The story took a while to show what direction it was headed, but definitely worth reading. As a California native, the story felt more personal. I also loved the allusions that almost felt like inside jokes to a second generation Mexican American. Would recommend listening.
