You've probably already read famous novels by Californians without knowing it, as
some of the best-known titles by resident writers aren't set in their adopted home state.
Take for example Ray Bradbury's 1950s dystopian classic
Fahrenheit 451;
Alice Walker's
Pulitzer Prize-winning
The Color Purple;
Ken Kesey's quintessential 1960s novel
One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;
Isabel Allende's best-selling
The House of the Spirits;
fem-
inist poetry by the late Adrienne Rich; and Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning
The
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
.
For a memorable romp through California, join contemporary authors, including Pico Iyer
