We’re more than a little excited to announce publication next spring of Golden Gate and Other Stories by the justly celebrated Clarence Major. As Luis Alberto Urrea says, “Clarence Major is the voice of our country singing sweet and bitter and loud.”
The book is a gathering of thirteen unpublished stories of aspiration, thriving and authentic lives set in California’s Bay Area. A few examples: A frustrated married woman searching for happiness online and at conferences. A reporter from San Francisco goes to Rome to interview the widow of a world-famous deceased American novelist. A young woman goes on a date with a young man just to teach him a lesson. In a San Francisco boarding house, a man is the bane of everyone’s existence. Two children are disappointed when their mother marries while they are away visiting their father. A dilettante throws parties everybody loves. A communist from France becomes paranoid when the man she is dating might be spying on her.
While we are accepting pre-orders on this site, the book will be sent in the spring to Itasca Books for national distribution and will be available to bookstores everywhere.
