"Like the cities they describe, the stories in Anywhere But L.A. shift and slide and refuse to be pinned down. Daniel Olivas is an exciting writer, whose prose rings with humor, insight, and power."
-- Daniel Alarcón, author of Lost City Radio and War by Candlelight
"Funny yet touching, these skillfully rendered characters remind us of our own vulnerability. Individually, the stories are punchy and sharp; collectively, the stories create a colorful mural of a thriving Latino community."
-- Kathleen de Azevedo, author of Samba Dreamers
"Daniel Olivas has mastered the knack of telling intricate tales that are natural, never labored, and a genuine pleasure to read."
-- Manuel Ramos, author of The Ballad of Rocky Ruiz
"Olivas is a writer who will take risks and surprise you. His stories delve into the topical themes of Latino and Chicano literature and beyond."
-- Sergio Troncoso, El Paso Times
