From the myths of the Yokuts Indians to stories and poems by famous contemporary writers, this anthology showcases the best literature of California s Great Central Valley and provides a rich view of the region s physical and emotional landscape. In the past, the Central Valley, an agricultural region nestled between the Sierra Nevada and the coast, was rarely thought of as an area of literary significance. The quality of writing presented in these pages and the popularity of the earlier edition of this anthology have changed this perception. With thirty-three added selections and a new foreword by Mark Arax, Highway 99, has been updated to reflect the growing body of outstanding writing originating from the region. This is American literature at its best literature as authentic and as powerful as the land that inspired it.

About the Author:

Stan Yogi is a writer living in Oakland whose father grew up in the Central Valley. His critical writings on literature have appeared in numerous journals and magazines, and he regularly reviews books for the "San Francisco Chronicle."
