Gold Fame Citrus

A Novel

Claire Vaye Watkins

Explore a surreal, devastatingly imagined near future where Southern California has been transformed into a phantasmagoric landscape due to an unrelenting drought. Most people have been evacuated to internment camps, but two young Mojavs, Luz and Ray, squat in an abandoned mansion in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon, subsisting on rationed cola and whatever they can loot. Their fragile love blooms until they meet a mysterious child and their thirst for a better future begins. Follow them as they journey east towards a mysterious sea of dunes, encountering danger and rumors of a visionary dowser. Immerse yourself in this profound and moving exploration of hope in a precarious future that could be our own.
