Opis

Penina and Salty return to Refugio, a fictional beach town on Santa Monica Bay, in "Coconut Oil," a sequel to "Penina's Letters." Find out what became of Salty and Penina after "Penina's Letters," where they've been, and how they're doing in the present, in "Coconut Oil." "Coconut Oil" may be enjoyed with or without "Penina's Letters." Salty and Penina, the war torn, young couple from "Penina's Letters," come home to Refugio in an attempt to retire a bit early. So forty or so years have passed since the close of "Penina's Letters." Salty is again our first person narrator. But "Coconut Oil" continues an experimental narrative form, and Sal hands the mic off to several other characters as we are brought up to date on Refugio. The themes of "Coconut Oil" include aging, housing and homelessness, gentrification, and how we occupy ourselves over time. The form is experimental in a way a common reader might enjoy. The back cover photo for "Coconut Oil" was taken from the northbound Coast Starlight train as it passed by the point at Refugio Beach, California, a campground 26 miles north of Santa Barbara. The photo was taken sometime in the late 70's.
