UNKNOWN CALIFORNIA Edited by Jonathan Eisen, David Fine, Kim Eisen
Classic and Contemporary Writing on California Culture, Society, History, and Politics; a collection of fiction and essays.
"Unknown California offers Samuel Langhorne Clemens 'roughing it' in San Francisco, Norman Mailer exposing the corruption at the heart of the film industry, John Steinbeck reporting on the miseries of the migrant camps, and Henry Miller evoking the majesty of Big Sur.
Equalling revealing are voices of writers 'yet to be discovered.' As they describe the dreams and fury of the Latino community and chronicle life in Silicon Valley and Harvey Milk's San Francisco, they add the shadows and highlights that mark California's ever-changing landscape.
In Unknown California, history and commentary, parody and polemic come together. It is a feast of good writing and a voyage of discovery to a state and state of mind that are as all-encompassing and mysterious as America itself." - from the cover.
