Tim Powers. Tim Powers is also good at capturing magical realism L.A.
I'm sure there are others, but I'll have to think about it.
Though I really encountered Tim Powers while I was in L.A. so it wasn't quite the same, but... it's that same kind of 'Yes, you've gotten L.A. right.'
Though part of the problem with L.A. is that it's not... one place. It's a lot of little places and it changes and shows different faces as you move from neighborhood to neighbohood. There are things which are somehow very L.A, but they're hard to explain to outsiders.
