CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT AND THE CALIFORNIA DREAM is an impressionistic journey of more than 50 years of extremely uneven and often strangely disconnected experiences in California. It stretches from the author's father's hardscrabble ranch in the remote mountains above Los Angeles, through ups and downs in an always-unpredictable California, ending, more or less, at a lonely and primitive ranch in the desert. The book is filled with unique characters, bizarre situations, and views of an always changing and, the author would charge, deteriorating California. From city streets to quiet rural areas, the author seems to have been aware of an ominous cloud filled with unease hovering over the Golden State. In this book he chronicles his drift of over 50 years in the shadow of this cloud, the California dream dim and elusive. Real, but only a dream...
