Product Information
When Doug Carloson bought a tiny old cottage on a bluff overlooking a beach at the eastern end of Lake Erie, he thought he was acquiring a holiday spot for his family and a writing retreat for himself. He got those, but he also ended up with something unexpected and enriching: a remarkable first-hand knolwedge of many natural forces. Wind, water currents, rain, and snow became daily facts as they steadily sliced away the precious feet of glacial moraine and clay separating the cottage from the bluff's edge. And as Carlson watched this inexorable collapse with the dual eyes of the landowner and the poet, 'At the Edge' emerged as a beautifully but grim testament to the strength and nature and the transitory, tentative claims that all people have upon her. Carlson's time at the lake comes to provide a mirror for other parts of his life.

Reviews
Publishers Weekly, starred review, February 25, 2009 These swift, penetrating essays from formerLos Angeles Timeswriter Arax (In My Father's Name) take the measure of contemporary California with a sure and supple hand, consciously but deservedly taking its place alongside Didion's and Saroyan's great social portraits. Expect the unexpected from Arax's reports up and down the state: on the last of the Okies, the latest migrants from Mexico, the tree-sitters of Berkeley, Bay Area conspiracy theorists, an Armenian chicken giant's infamous fall or the mammoth marijuana economy of Humboldt County, among much else. For Arax, a third-generation Californian of Armenian heritage who spent years covering the Central Valley as an investigative reporter, the state's outrÉ reputation and self-representation are a complex dance of myth and memory that includes his own family lore and personal history. It's partly this personal connection, running subtly but consistently throughout, that pushes the collection past mere reportage to a high literary enterprise that beautifully integrates the private and idiosyncratic with the sweep of great historical forces.Carolyn See,Making a Literary Life "Mark Arax has achieved something truly wonderful. He shows us a California we don't know or haven't yet heard about: Post 9/11 racism and craziness in the Central Valley; dunderhead FBI agents prowling the l∧ the plight of immigrants as it really pans out; marijuana moguls dealing in stacks of cash that stinks of weed; the disgraceful decline of the once-greatLA Times-all of it set in the larger frame of a generation of Armenian immigrants tied to the old country, in love with the new country, struggling to discover the meaning of life with all their might."Kirkus "A lucid, warts-and-all portrait of California by a native son….[W]orthy of a place alongside the works of … Carey McWilliams and even Joan Didion."James Ellroy, author ofThe Black Dahliaand the forthcomingBlood's a Rover "West of the Westis a dreamscape as much as a landscape-and heart-stirring in its style and acute perception. It could be titled 'Why We Live Here Anyway'-I exhort you to read this book."Jack Miles, author ofGod: A Biography "I intended to spend half an hour and spent half a day. This is that kind of book. You think you know California? Think again, and settle in." San Diego Union Tribunearticle, 4/17 "Arax dug deep into the dirt of California, and he didn't come away with his hands clean." Los Angeles Times Arax gives us "intimate dramas" shaped by the "intense subtleties of his writing... He goes at events with the fierce bulldog tenacity that is one of his trademarks as a writer.... charged and highly moving stuff." Las Vegas Review Journal "The many strengths of "West of the West" include solid reporting, taut writing and an author who has a firm grasp on his subject. Arax's California isn't about beaches or Hollywood or Disneyland. It's about a mix of real people who live there, mostly not in the limelight. You can trust that when Arax writes about this subject, he knows what he's talking about." San Francisco Chronicle "Arax is the perfect cicerone through the heavenly and hellish landscapes and historical evolutions he has chosen to chronicle... He knows how to write colorfully.... The tales are never hurried but unfolded in a measured, controlled manner for maximum context and texture. And he has come up with some doozies!... Haunting.", Carolyn See,Making a Literary Life "Mark Arax has achieved something truly wonderful. He shows us a California we don't know or haven't yet heard about: Post 9/11 racism and craziness in the Central Valley; dunderhead FBI agents prowling the land; the plight of immigrants as it really pans out; marijuana moguls dealing in stacks of cash that stinks of weed; the disgraceful decline of the once-greatLA Times-all of it set in the larger frame of a generation of Armenian immigrants tied to the old country, in love with the new country, struggling to discover the meaning of life with all their might.", Carolyn See,Making a Literary Life "Mark Arax has achieved something truly wonderful.
