Love and War in California

OAKLEY HALL
Love and War in California
Wednesday, April 25 at 7 PM

Love and War in California, by respected writer and teacher Oakley Hall, is a book that novelist Richard Ford calls "classic American story-telling, in the manner of James Jones and the Norman Mailer we first loved." It is a novel that takes the reader through sixty years of American history told through the eyes of a young man as he grows old, and "is made," says Ford, "for a reader who wants to sit down with a book, stay up all night and not quit until the end." Hall is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Corpus of Joe Bailey, in addition to over 20 novels and mysteries. A director of Programs in Writing at UC-Irvine for 20 years, he is currently the founder and director of the Squaw Valley Community of Writers.
