About This Item
NEW copy, trade paperback. Illustrations, essays by various hands, reviews, biographical note, bibliography, 109 pages. ~~~ In 2011 a tiny press in Berkeley published Visions & Affiliations, an eccentric 1300-page chronology of post-war California literature in two massive paperbound folio volumes. With no commercial distribution or publicity, the book sold about two hundred copies and soon vanished from sight--but not from the memory of the small audience that read it. Some of them considered the elaborate time line the first adequate account of California's complex and contradictory literary life. Others recognized Foley's radical innovation in changing how literary history could be written. A few even considered the strange, sprawling, yet compulsively readable tomes an oddball masterpiece. ~~ Contributions by Scott Timberg, Dana Gioia, Peter Whitfield, Lucille Lang Day, Colin Cooper, Jack Foley, David Mason and Marian J. Hollinger.
