1990ABE-1631770284244Harper and Row 1990. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Inscribed to "Cris" by editor and contributor Joyce Carol Thomas as well as inscribed each time "to Cris" by five of the contributors--Al Young Gary Soto Gerald Haslam Maxine Hong Kingston and Rick Wernli--at the head of their stories all on the same occasion in the year of publication. It represents a surprisingly great gathering of twentieth-century California writers only Wernli faded to obscurity and apparently his contribution here "Colony" was his first published story. A non-authorial it would seem gift inscription to Cris from "Ellen" is found on the upper right of the FFEP. Other contributors to this anthology include Gerald Vizenor Lois Lowry Ana Castillo and Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston.
