Eight authors’ works of personal nonfiction join with ten stories by Karen Tei
Yamashita to illuminate the hidden histories of places large and small.
Faced with a scant historical record, Karen Tei Yamashita turns to fiction to
animate the secrets of Santa Cruz, the city she’s called home for nearly three
decades. Her characters come alive through her signature witty humor and surreal
premises, transcending the past and urging themselves into the present to
illuminate a hidden geography of this California coastal city unseen in
textbooks.
Alongside these stories, eight nonfiction writers chart their own
counternarratives of place through the greater United States. Diverging and
converging in their scale and scope, from an unnamed lot on the bank of the Ohio
River to the territory of Guam, their essays use language as an instrument of
excavation, uncovering layers of hurt and desire concealed in the land.
