Folks You Meet in Longs
"Folks You Meet in Longs is simply magical. Through voice, Lee Cataluna conjures your neighbor, your co-worker, your raucous classmates, the old ladies you see in Chinatown, the uncles sitting in the garage, and you. Their images appear before you as you listen to Cataluna's dead-on capturing of sound with an incredible sensibility, artistry, and poignancy."
--Lois-Ann Yamanaka, novelist

Oh, so good! Really really catches the voices, catches the essence of everyday people. Somewhere in this book you're going to find someone, a friend or relative, that you know so well. And Lee does too.
I wish I could see this performed.
I especially enjoyed the little kid, Brandon, whose mother has no clue how to control him. How many stores have I run into him and his mother??
Way to go Lee.
