Appendices.Alive with the exuberance, contradictions, and variety of the Golden State, this Depression-era guide to California is more than 700 pages of information that is, as David Kipen writes in his spirited introduction, "anecdotal, opinionated, and altogether habit-forming." Describing the history, culture, and roadside attractions of the 1930's, the WPA Guide to California features some of the very best anonymous literature of its era, with writing by luminaries such as San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth, composer-writer- hobo Harry Partch, and authors Tillie Olsen and Kenneth Patchen.Cities and townsCaliforniaHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945CaliforniaHISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY)bisacshCaliforniaGuidebooksamericana.anecdotal.anonymous literature.california authors.california writers.city life.contradictions.crowded cities.culture.depression era.engaging.generational.government and governing.harry partch.history of western us.history.hobo.kenneth patchen.kenneth rexroth.poetry.poets.politics.roadside attractions.san francisco.sociology of urban areas.the golden state.tillie olsen.urban soiology.us history.wpa.Cities and townsHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945HISTORY / United States / State & Local / West (AK, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, UT, WY).940.53/794940.53/794/091732Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administrationauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1559889Federal Writers' Project.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786121303321California in the 1930s3825439UNINA
