Join us for an evening with award-winning writer Mark Arax who will discuss his new book, “The Dreamt Land,” and the transformation of California’s landscape by the manipulation of its water and soil.

From his Fresno base, Mark weaves a heartfelt story about the land and people who have worked it, the history and hubris of desiccating rivers, drilling deeper wells and building higher dams, pushing the water supply and the environment past its limit. Mark is a former LA Times staffer, whose writings on California and the West have received numerous awards for literary nonfiction.
