ISSUE 14: CALIFORNIA. The best of the Golden State according to our well placed friends, the artists, dreamers, writers. It’s the spiritual home of cinema, so of course we visit Hollywood, with cover stars Alana Haim and Jeff Bridges, and a profile on Sue Mengers. But there are also indie icons like Charles Burnett, Latin legend Danny Trejo, Maria Zardoya, Ed Ruscha. It is best devoured start to end, like a good, slow, burpy lunch at Musso and Frank’s. But while working on this, I carried the view from a particular cafe in Santa Barbara. I breakfasted there at a decade ago, a pause while driving from San Francisco to the border. Out staring at the ocean, toes in the sand… Total freedom; who cares what happens tomorrow? Who knows which page you’ll turn to? That’s the spirit of California. With direction from captain
@charlespfinch and the talents of Fatima, Luke, KG, Anna, K Spice, Lauren and Dr Zeiher, California is now everywhere, but particularly all major book shops and newsstands. Issue 15 soon. Do rabbits dream of electric sheep? 🤖
