Homer From Salinas: John Steinbeck's Enduring Voice
for California--info here.
| From
April to May 2007, some of the most noted scholars and artists of
American Literature, cultural studies, painting and photography,
gathered at San Diego State University for “An Enduring Voice for
California: A Celebration of John Steinbeck,” sponsored by the College
of Arts and Letters, SDSU. Homer from Salinas: John Steinbeck’s
Enduring Voice for California collects these lectures, screenings,
debates, discussions, and artifacts into one handy volume that is a
cross between old school “conference proceedings” and next-generation,
Web 2.0 journalism. The result is a one-volume meditation on Steinbeck
and California that leaves readers knowing more about the Nobel
Prize-winning author and America’s singular, West Coast state. It
includes pieces by Jeffrey Charles, Charles Wollenberg, William
Deverell, Francisco X. Alarcón, Hernán Moreno-Hinojosa, Pam Muñoz Ryan,
Fred Gardaphé, Arturo J. Aldama, Michael Harper, Joanna Brooks, Arthur
Ollman, Louis Hock, Susan Shillingslaw, with an introduction by William Anthony Nericcio. |
