Het boek is in goede conditie. Op de titelpagina staat met pen geschreven: San Fancisco, 2 juli ’12..

Bevat korte verhalen over San Francisco van schrijvers als Tom Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Alice B. Toklas, Amy Tan, Rudyard Kipling, Jack Kerouac en Vikram Seth.

Every city has its stories, but San Francisco seems to have more than most. It falls down. It burns up. It goes Beatnik in the fifties and crazy in the sixties – but it remains elegant throughout.

From Jack Kerouac on working on the railroad to Anne Lamott on getting kicked out of the cafe scene, and from Jack London on the 1906 earthquake to Tom Wolfe on the acid tests of the 1960s, San Francisco Stories collects the most outstanding writings about the city from some of the most distinguished authors of the last 150 years.

John Miller has edited numerous anthologies for Chronicle Books including Chicago Stories, New Orleans Stories and Cape Cod Stories. He lives in San Francisco.
