"The great James Baldwin would have loved this book...Miller focuses with intimacy on soulful landscape: how in the1940s a South Carolina outcast ended up in California and in an “intellectual” Berkeley as functionally racist as the
rest of the U.S. From a living reading-writing-thinking American devoted to the arts and democratic ideals in recent history,how lucky we are to have such a profound story of survival."

—Al Young, California’s former Poet Laureate
