<p>Kim Stanley Robinson and I discuss <em>The Gold Coast</em>, the second volume of his <a href="https://www.flyleafbooks.com/book/9781250307569" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Three Californias</a> triptych. We discuss how the Reagan era served as the inspiration for the book, the connection between the character Dennis McPherson and Stan's own father, and why this is Stan's favorite of the trilogy.</p><p>Join us next month for a discussion of the final volume of the triptych, <em>The Pacific Edge</em></p>
