Award-Winning Fiction from the Far Side of the California Dream

Winner of the Selena McDonald Kennedy Fiction Award and featuring "Gallopers," winner of the prestigious Arts & Letters Prize for Fiction.

Step beyond the postcards and the Hollywood glitz. California Works is a masterfully crafted collection of short stories that explores the gritty, lyrical, and deeply moving realities of those living on the golden state's margins.

Meet the souls who inhabit these pages:

• The Desperate: A war veteran rustling cactus in the harsh desert near Palm Springs.
• The Vulnerable: A teenager living in the shadow of Disneyland, watching the shadow of the draft close in.
• The Haunted: A Hollywood actress running for her life from a violent past.
• The Broken: A North Coast fisherman whose marriage founders in the wake of losing his son to the sea.

Spare yet profoundly lyrical, Dwight Holing weaves breathtaking tales of love, loss, and hard-won redemption. In these pages, the California landscape itself is a living, breathing character—shaping the destinies of men and women pushed to their limits.

Perfect for fans of gritty contemporary fiction, evocative place-based storytelling, and unforgettable journeys into the deep river of the human spirit.
