California Overview

California's allure is understandable. It really is warm and sunny most of the year, movie stars do abound in Los Angeles, and you can't swing a cat by its tail without hitting a rollerblading babe in Venice Beach. This part of the California mystique -- however exaggerated it may be -- does exist, and it's not hard to find.

It's California's Salton Sea, a hypersaline lake that kills the very life itshelters. Join William T. Vollmann on a voyage of discovery, from the culverts of Mexicali to the shimmering shores of a waking nightmare. Just pinch your nose and squint—it really is quite lovely.
