Join ICW for an engaging discussion with the contributors to “Writing the Golden State,” a collection of 25 essays that reimagines California beyond clichés. These essays highlight the state’s complexity, diversity, and unique history, exploring the people, communities, and events shaping California. Join the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West for a discussion about California’s past and present with Jennifer Carr, Wendy Cheng, David Helps, and David Ulin, contributors to the new book Writing the Golden State: The New Literary Terrain of California. The book explores California through 25 essays that look beyond the clichés of the “California dream,” portraying a state that is deviant and recalcitrant, proud and humble, joyful and communal. Join us for a multifaceted and exciting dialogue as we explore the individuals, communities, and events that have made California a richly diverse state.
