Mark Arax: West of the West May 8, 2009

Mark Arax talks about' West of the West: Dreamers, Believers, Builders, and Killers in the Golden State.' In the tradition of Joan Didion, Arax combines journalism, essay and memoir to capture social upheaval as well as the sense of being rooted in a community. Piece by piece, the stories become a whole, a panorama of California and America in a new century.
