West of the West: Imagining California
edited by Leonard Michaels, David Reid & Raquel Scherr

West of the West chronicles California culture, the reality and myth. Be it crime reports, awe-struck prose on nature, Hollywood musings or hip recollections of San Francisco's jazz and literary scenes, this book encapsulates the whole of the state. Such writers as Vidal, Eco, Huxley, Ginsberg, and Stein collectively define post-modern California. A must read for anyone fascinated by the Golden State phenomenon.

"When I am in California, I am not west, I am west of the west."
--Theodore Roosevelt
"This not so idyllic literary journey up the Los Angeles-Bay Area corridor... offers a postmodern view of the beauty and catastrophe of California."
Paperback 332 pages - 6" x 9" - (2/95)
