In a California of the sixties and seventies, characters examine the contents of deceased relatives' freezers, tape-record high school locker-room chatter, or collect a community's gossip while cleaning the teeth of its inhabitants. Mr. Darcy is the captain of the football team, Mansfield Park materializes in a suburb of L.A., bake sales replace ballroom dances, and station wagons, not horse-drawn carriages, are the preferred mode of transit. The stories of traversing class, race, and gender leap into our modern world with wit and humor.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of seven books, including \u003ci\u003eI Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e, finalist for the National Book Award, and most recently \u003ci\u003eLetters to Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Coffee House Press.
