Join author Rosecrans Baldwin for a discussion of his 2022 Commonwealth Club California Book Award winner in the Californiana category, Everything Now. Although the author lives in Los Angeles now, he is not a native and therefore brings a newcomer's view of the "city-state," as he calls it. This well-researched book brings new perspectives, nuances and attitudes about what L.A. is all about.

Former Commonwealth book award winners had this to say about the book:

"Rosecrans Baldwin has taken on the unwieldy task of portraying this unique, enormous city in all its overlapping, contradictory layers, and incredibly, he succeeds." —Steph Cha. author of Your Home Will Pay

"With a novelist's eye and a searching curiosity, Rosecrans Baldwin has created a sprawling work that explores a place, its people, as well as culture, history, geography, and ecology." —Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown
