Synopsis
This enlarged edition of The other California, originally published in 1990, contains nineteen essays (six of them new to this collection) on the landscape, literature, and life in the Great Central Valley of California. A vast, flat patchwork of fields and orchards about the size of England, the Valley has become the richest farming region in the history of the world. It also has a rich literary tradition: William Saroyan, Joan Didion, William Everson, Maxine Hong Kingston, Gary Soto, and Richard Rodriguez were all raised in this agricultural heartland., Gerald Haslam, doesn't like it when folks dismiss the Central Valley as boring and flat. In this collection of essays, he argues that it is California's heartland and economic hub. These essays range from reminiscences of childhood and adolescence to a portrait of Mexican-Americans and their position in the Valley's society to a moving essay about having the author's aging father come to live with the family., Oildale native, Gerald Haslam, doesn't like it when folks dismiss the Central Valley as boring and flat. In this collection of essays, he argues that it is California's heartland and economic hub. In addition, the valley has produced a crop of gifted writers. These nineteen essays range from reminiscences of childhood and adolescence to a portrait of Mexican-Americans and their position in the Valley's society to a moving essay about having the author's aging father come to live with the family. Even if you have never lived in the Valley, reading this book will give you an entirely new perspective the next time you drive into it.

We carefully pack books to ensure they arrive in the same condition as when purchased. The plastic wrap used by this seller provided minimal protection to the book's edges, spine and cover. Also, the wrap was difficult to remove without damaging the book. But to be clear we are happy with our purchase and would use this seller again.
