Items related to Wild California (Five Leaves Short Stories)
Victoria Nelson's stories, set in her native California, link natural settings with characters caught up in events not of their making. A San Francisco poet is kidnapped by the Russian mafia; an American visiting a provincial New Zealand town is gradually caught up in her host's immersion in Maori culture; a hapless stockbroker is pursued by a woman living in an abandoned school bus; a Halloween party on a Sausalito houseboat takes on an unexpected dimension.

Review:
Victoria Nelson is a master of atmosphere, of place and mood in unexpected geographies and far horizons; in the powerful US tradition of vivid micro-realism, she sets a strong, active pulse beating through her narratives of moral disorientation and violent adventure. --Marina Warner
About the Author:
Victoria Nelson's previous books include The Secret Life of Puppets (winner of the Modern Languages Association award for comparative literature studies). She is also the co-translator of Letters, Drawings and Selected Essays of Bruno Schulz and author of a memoir of Hawaii.
