Condor dreams & other fictions

This collection of twenty-five short stories by Gerald Haslam explores the rural areas and small towns of California's Great Central Valley. The narratives feature a diverse, primarily male cast, including a Chinese laborer, a Portuguese farmer, a Vietnamese schoolboy, and an Armenian poet. From a father and son's bond with the California condor to a young man's struggle with an alcoholic mother, these tales offer a look into the lives and experiences of the region's inhabitants.
