Kowalewski Quoted in LA Times About “Visions of California” Class
Michael Kowalewski, the McBride Professor of English & Environmental Studies, is quoted in the Jan. 1 edition of the Los Angeles Times regarding the rising interest in “California Literature” in college and university classrooms. He told the paper that his class is partly a way to explore his own connections to the state and his fascination with its contradictions — “incredibly beautiful in many respects and incredibly trashed and overgrown and constantly arrogant at the same time.” Kowalewski grew up in Redding, Calif., and edited an anthology of Gold Rush literature.
