Title: Poster for "la Shorts" Edited by Steven Gilbar
Description: Berkeley: Heyday Books, 2000. Poster on foam core. 21. 5 x 14 inches. Some of the best writing in America is coming out of Southern California as is evidenced in this first-ever collection of short fiction from Los Angeles. Among the two dozen stories featured here are those by well-known voices such as Ethan Canin, Walter Mosely, and Kate Braverman, as well as those by emerging writers such as Ty Pak, Sandra Tsing Loh, and Karen E. Bender. Edgy and intense, provocative and poignant, LA Shorts is destined to open readers' eyes to a literature of the real place.
