DREAM STREET, new from Heyday Books and the Inlandia Institute. Available
through bookstores, major book distributors, or directly at heydaybooks.com

A series of public events celebrate the launch of this important new book.

About the book: "I won the right to name a street in southern California,"
writes author and photographer Douglas McCulloh. The chance win at a charity
event launched McCulloh into an obsessive relationship with a 134-home
subdivision being built in Southern California's Inland Empire. Captivated
by the creation of this new neighborhood, he haunted the place he named
Dream Street, chronicling the lives of builders, workers, and homebuyers
with camera and tape recorder. McCulloh's captivating and timely work
illuminates the history and fate of Dream Streets everywhere.

      Critical
Praise for
Dream Street

"I can think of no other recent account of the suburbs that has the
heartbreaking qualities of McCulloh's Dream Street. Only in the novels of
the opening of the Great Plains at the turn of the century are the social,
economic, and environmental forces that shaped the making of a place so
clearly drawn, and on so human a scale."
       -D. J. Waldie

"Dream Street is a disturbing yet moving portrait of lives indentured to the
ruthless outdoor sweatshop known as the home construction industry. McCulloh
confronts us with the exploitation and downward mobility that manufacture
the mirage of suburban affluence."
       -Mike Davis

D. J. Waldie is the author of Holy Land: A Suburban Memoir among other
books. He is a contributing editor at the Los Angeles Times and a
contributing writer at Los Angeles magazine.

Mike Davis is the author of City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los
Angeles, professor, and recipient of the McArthur Fellowship Award.
