REVIEWS
What John Steinbeck said about one of his stories — that he wanted it ‘to strike without the readers’ knowledge’—might be said of many of these tales of friends and married couples, college students and gas station attendants, California dreamers, aspiring actors, and ghostly figures. Characters surprise and delight. Settings shift from Hollywood to Alta California. This collection is as expansive as the West itself.
Dr. Susan Shillinglaw, Director, National Steinbeck Center
IT’S ALL IN THE STORY is a moveable feast of California literature, brilliantly selected to illustrate the value of the compelling short story.
