Tillfälligt slut

Haslam’s stories are of the quintessential California of working people who struggle to make a living. He is their spokesperson—no matter what their color or language—because he, too, has chopped cotton under the searing sun, has toiled on drilling rigs in fog thick as oatmeal, has lived in a house where Spanish and English mingled. His writing marks a boundary between the Golden State's stereotypes and the real people who persevere in seeking the California dream.

“Put a cowboy hat on a microphone and you have Gerald Haslam, whose short stories have recorded the landscapes, the working-class customers and, above all, the voices of Bakersfield area for two decades now. Okies, Indians, blacks and Latinos; ranchers, roughnecks and a few who got education but could never get the dust and oil and tule fog out of their blood—Haslam lets them all sound off.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review ""Haslam’s recent collection of short stories, That Constant Coyote, represents one of the most powerful literary ensembles I’ve encountered in quite some time.” —Geoffrey Dunn, Santa Cruz Magazine
