Authors Uncovered: In-Person Interview with Mark Arax

Arax confronts the ‘Golden State’ myth in riveting fashion. The author writes about California from gold miners to wheat ranchers to small fruit farmers and today’s big agriculture. In The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California, he is from a family of Central Valley farmers, and a writer with deep ties to the land. Arax will be in a conversation with Donna Apidone of Capital Public Radio.
