Dear California: The Golden State in Diaries and Letters Kipen David
California has always been, literally, a place to write home about. With this book, cultural historian and California scholar David Kipen reveals this long-storied place through its residents' writings, and gives readers a highly anticipated follow up to his book Dear Los Angeles.Running from January 1 through December 31, leaping across decades and centuries, Dear California reflects on the state's shifting landscapes and the notion of place. Renowned figures and iconoclasts; politicians, actors, and artists; the world-famous and the not-so-much--all have contributed their voices to the patchwork of the state.
The collected voices show how far we've wandered--and how far we still have to go in Entries talk across the centuries, from indigenous stories told before the Spanish arrived on the Pacific coast through to present-day tweets, blogs, and other ephemera.
