On this week’s Loose Read’s review, Suri deep dives into the weighty tome that is Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris. (Not to be confused with James Franco’s novel of the same name).
Connecting the explosion of the gold rush to what is now the epicentre of Silicon Valley, Harris presents an emotive, interesting and clear-eyed history of California.
Suri also recommends If Then by Jill Lepore.
