DESCRIPTION:Tuesday, Jun 8, 7-8pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents\n\nMick 
 LaSalle & Richard Wolinsky: A Zoom Event\nDREAM STATE: CALIFORNIA IN THE 
 MOVIES \n\nDream State is a freewheeling journey through several dozen 
 big-screen visions of the Golden State, with LaSalle's unmistakable 
 contrarian humor as the guide. His writing, unerringly perceptive and 
 resistant to cliche, brings clarity to the haze of Hollywood reverie and 
 self-regard. \n\nIt hardly needs to be argued: nothing has contributed more 
 to the mythology of California than the movies. Fed by the film industry, 
 the California dream is instantly recognizable to people everywhere, yet 
 remains elusive for nearly everyone, including Californians themselves. 
 That paradox is the subject of longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist 
 film critic Mick LaSalle's first book in nearly a decade. The opposite of a 
 dry historical primer, Dream State leaps effortlessly between genres and 
 generations, moving with ease from Double Indemnity to the first two 
 versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to Boyz n the Hood to Booksmart. 
 There are natural disasters, vicious crimes, dubious utopias, wild 
 romances, and unforgettable nights. Both entertaining and unsettling, this 
 book is a bold dissection of the California dream and how it shaped the 
 modern world. \n\nMick LaSalle, longtime film critic for The San Francisco 
 Chronicle, is the author of three previous books: Complicated Women: 
 Pre-Code Hollywood and the Birth of Modern Man; Dangerous Men: Pre-Code 
 Hollywood and the Birth of the Modern Man, and The Beauty of The Real: What 
 Hollywood Can Learn from Contemporary French Actresses. \n\nRichard 
 Wolinsky,  a veteran radio broadcaster, is the host of Bookwaves and 
 Arts-Waves interviews and discussions on KPFA, as well as his Probabilities 
 series of extended archive interviews on literature, theater, film, and 
 other visual arts from a progressive viewpoint.\n\nSuggested Donation
