| Gerald W. Haslam Wednesday, November 16, 20005 |
||||||||
| Location: Montgomery Hall | ||||||||
| Gerald W. Haslam was born in Bakersfield, raised in Oildale in California's Great Central Valley. Much of his writing, starting with a series of pieces for The Nation two decades ago, has sought to bring his native state's image more into line with its reality. He has particulary celebrated California's rural and small town areas, its poor and working class people of all colors, to explore the human condition. He wrote in the Introduction to Where Coyotes Howl and Wind Blows Free, "no matter what our color or sex, we have more uniting than separating us, what is most important is that we all are members of the human family." | ||||||||
