West of the West: Imagining California | 
so-soThis anthology of California literature and essays is from 1989, and it‘s been on my shelf nearly that long! And I waited too long to read it. It focuses on 1945-1989, so there is nothing from the last 30 years, obviously. I also felt SF, LA, and the film industry are over-represented. The Central Valley and Santa Clara County, the far north, many ethnic groups are not here at all. The individual selections are mostly fine, but more is needed.
