San Francisco Chronicle Review
MANY CALIFORNIAS offers a broad sampling of writers representing the entire range of California writing. Every region of California finds a place in Haslam's superb new collection (Westways). MANY CALIFORNIAS is as diverse and as riveting as the state's landscape. Haslam provides a wonderful introduction to the literature of the Golden State (The Steinbeck Newsletter). MANY CALIFORNIAS lives up to the promise of its title, uniting writers from various ethnic, historic, regional and philosophical corners of the state
Many Californias: Literature from the Golden State FROM THE PUBLISHER
The second edition of this general-interest anthology adds ten new authors and their works plus five new selections from some favorite writers, including Carolyn See, Victor Martinez, Gina Berriault, Al Young, Molly Giles, Robert Mass, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, and David Mas Masumoto. The collection now offers 67 authors and their writings, making Many Californias one of the most ethnically, culturally, and gender-diverse anthologies available.
Award-winning author and editor Gerald W. Haslam divides the state into five geo/literary regions, each of them reflecting regional frontiers with distinct terrains, patterns of settlement, and literary output. These Californias and others combine to produce literature that is varied and rich and controversial: many Californias.
