Ebook About Teddy Roosevelt once exclaimed, "When I am in California, I am not in the West. I am west of the West," and in this book, Mark Arax spends four years travelling up and down the Golden State to explore its singular place in the world. This is California beyond the cliché This is California as only a native son, deep in the dust, could draw it. Compelling, lyrical, and ominous, his new collection finds a different drama rising out of each confounding landscape. "The Summer of the Death of Hilario Guzman" has been praised as a "stunningly intimate" portrait of one immigrant family from Oaxaca, through harrowing border crossings and brutal raisin harvests. Down the road in the "Home Front," right-wing Christians and Jews form a strange pact that tries to silence debate on the War on Terror, and a conflicted father loses not one but two sons in Iraq. "The Last Okie in Lamont," the inspiration for the town in the Grapes of Wrath, has but one Okie left, who tells Arax his life story as he drives to a funeral to bury one more Dust Bowl migrant. "The Highlands of Humboldt" is a journey to marijuana growing capital of the U.S., where the old hippies are battling the new hippies over "pollution pot" and the local bank collects a mountain of cash each day, much of it redolent of cannabis. Arax pieces together the murder-suicide at the heart of a rotisserie chicken empire in "The Legend of Zankou," a story included in the Best American Crime Reporting 2009. And, in the end, he provides a moving epilogue to the murder of his own father, a crime in the California heartland finally solved after thirty years. In the finest 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 stunning panorama of California, and America, in a new century.Book West of the West: Dreamers, Believers, Builders, and Killers in the Golden State Review :
Mark Arax, for 25 years a reporter for the LA Times, has long proven his willingness to get all the facts necessary to tell a full balanced story, even to the extent of causing his own divorce, that his earlier books, In My Father's Name and The King of California, apparently triggered.In traveling for 4 years across this vast and complex state his collection of observations, anecdotes, and situations leaves one astonished at what the Golden State has recently become as rampant immigration from everywhere has turned it into an unmanageable polyglot of races, religions, and rationales, much of which he weaves into a fascinating story, like John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, did earlier for the USA.From an immigrant Armenian family himself, Arax's writing about the illegal immigration issue, a currently hot political potato, burst with keen insight, to wit, "By underwriting the relocation of Mexico's most desperate, we are giving a giant handout to farmers, meat packers, home builders, hotel chains and big box retail outlets. Taxpayers are picking up the front end costs of cheap labor the same way we are subsidizing cotton and oil and home mortgages."And in the final part, Arax brings his personal life under a completely honest microscope, as he doggedly and manically seeks to find his father's killers and their motivation.If you haven't been to California lately beyond the usual big city sites of San Francisco and LA and you want a tour that will give you the most up to date story, here is your book. This book was a joy to read. I liked it so much that I bought Mark Arax's other book, King of California. It too is a very good book.
