This text shows how Californians rebounded from the Great Depression to emerge in the 1930s into what is now known as "the good life." The author illustrates the ways this prospered in California - in film, fiction, leisure, and architecture.

"Stendhal described the novel as a mirror passing along the roadway, suggesting that the novelist's gift is limited by how he aims his reflecting glass. A great historian combines this relentless appetite for the world as he finds it with a plausible evaulation of its meaning. In his monumental continuing study of California, Kevin Starr belongs in the company of the best."--Herbert Gold, Los Angeles Times Book Review
