Freeman’s: California
Freeman John
The
sixth volume in the series that has been hailed by NPR, O Magazine and Vogue, Freeman's: California features
stunning new work from a broad selection of writers, revealing everything that
is important and fascinating about America's most populous state.
In Freeman's: California, Lauren Markham describes
how four generations of her family have lived in and tried to manipulate the
water in one of the driest parts of the state and how water and land means
everything. Rabih
Alameddine recounts becoming a bartender in the mid-1980s
as his friends began to die of AIDS. Rachel Kushner reminisces on all the
amazing cars she's owned and their peculiar, vivid personalities. Natalie Diaz narrates
the process of making her body into a professional basketball player, and how
that assembly stalled some of the internal vulnerabilities she'd felt as a gay
native woman growing up in California. And Elaine Castillo visits her brother in
prison.
Amid the raging the forest
fires plaguing California, William
T. Vollmann drives to the Carr fire and sees how fire has
become the new state of normality for California. And Jaime Cortez riffs on
pulling over at a rest-stop and smelling the fires of Paradise burning.
Meanwhile home is in
transition as Karen Tei
Yamashita recalls a Japanese-American who goes to Japan
after the dropping of the bomb, writing back and forth. Reyna Grande explores
how her mother fell out of society and became a woman who collects recycling,
while she and her siblings have become model immigrants.
Also
featuring a haunting ghost story from Oscar Villalon, bold new fiction from Tommy Orange, and stunning
poems from Mai Der Vang, Juan Felipe Herrera, Maggie Millner and
more, Freeman's: California assembles
a diverse list of brilliant writers.
