“A first-rate social observer, author Thurston Clarke analyzes the overt and unspoken effects of earthquakes on California coastal culture. His journey along the San Andreas fault makes me wistful for my own California adventures! As a Golden State native, earthquakes were merely background to my day-to-day life. This book puts a face, though sometimes eccentric, to those Californians living in a beautiful, though unpredictable, environment.”
