BARSTOW BONES
Monday, August 17, 2009
A few weeks back we took a short look at the long history of Pearl, the respected literary magazine that's been publishing since 1974. Pearl recently published its 40th issue, highlighted by my father's excellent short story Barstow Bones. It's a story of racial prejudice set in a small California desert town circa WWII, and the tension gets pretty unbearable as we follow our likable, Japanese American hero on his journey through the California desert circa WWII. Here, I'll let my pop tell you about it:
The issue is currently available, via Paypal, at his website.
My dad's been a college English professor for decades, and his Youtube page offers over 50 free, can't-miss video lectures and poetry explications... With a few bonus appearances by Archie the Poetry Dog!
