Hollywood Is a Verb

摘要

"Don't you love the oxford dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really, really long poem about everything," said David Bowie in 1999. In "Hollywood Is a Verb: Los Angeles Tackles the Oxford English Dictionary [OED]," more than 60 programs engaged Angelenos through conversation and events to illuminate how dictionaries enrich our lives today. The title of the program, jointly presented by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Public Library (LAPL), was inspired by L.A. artist Ed Ruscha and his paintings of the same name.
