Paperback. An unsung masterpiece from one of fantastic literature's greatest writers. Series: S.F. Masterworks. Num Pages: 608 pages. BIC Classification: FL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. .
A long, long time from now, in the valleys of what will no longer be called Northern California, might be going to have lived a people called the Kesh. But Always Coming Home is not the story of the Kesh. Rather it is the stories of the Kesh - stories, poems, songs, recipes - Always Coming Home is no less than an anthropological account of a community that does not yet exist, a tour de force of imaginative fiction by one of modern literature's great voices.
