| July 8, 2004 | Allen O. Pierleoni calls My California
"A Win-Win for Readers" in his mention of the book in the Sacramento Bee: You can do two
favors with one book purchase - a favor for yourself if you like to
read travel and adventure stories, and a favor for the California Arts
Council, whose budget was slashed by the state by nearly 97 percent in
funding for the arts.

In his June 27, 2004 Los Angeles Times Book Review
article "Pilgrim
in a Desert Land" on D.J. Waldie's collection of essays Where We Are Now,
Kevin Starr praises Waldie's work, saying that "the Plains of Id have
found a voice" -- Waldie's overriding
insight (and we need to remind ourselves constantly of it) is that Los
Angeles as a whole is a success. Not a booster success, for there are
tragedies and failures aplenty. And not merely the success of attitude
and style, although the trendy and the chic are as vividly represented
here as in any city on the planet. But a success for ordinary people,
who now are predominately of color and, like Waldie's parents in the
late 1940s, arrived here to seek a better life and by and large found
it.
