A field guide to California: oyster bars and taco trucks, wildfire experts and Hollywood royalty, wine-country roads and deep desert reaches. 

Inside Wildsam California, you'll find tales from prize-winning writers, past and present; detailed road trip itineraries and profiles of California towns; interviews with painters, directors, activists and songwriters; delightful miscellany from the archives, selective recommendations about authentic California experiences and offbeat intel that offers stunning insight into California.

"Hundreds of years ago, explorers on ships from Spain and other places actually thought all of California was an island. Fantasy has defined its essence ever since."
