The historic, handsome city in the shadow of Los Angeles has been a creative hotbed since the Arroyo Arts & Crafts scene of the early twentieth century. This literary journal gathers short fiction by such Pasadena-area writers as Michelle Huneven ("Blame"), Victoria Patterson ("This Vacant Paradise"), Jervey Tervalon ("Understand This"), Naomi Hirahara ("Snakeskin Shamisen"), Lian Dolan ("Helen of Pasadena"), Ron Koertge ("The Arizona Kid"), Dianne Emley (the Nan Vining mysteries), and Jim Krusoe ("Parsifal").

Produced as a companion to LitFest Pasadena (May 2013), "Literary Pasadena: The Fiction Edition" is the first in an annual series that will move on to include editions in poetry, essays, humor, and more.

Literary Pasadena: The Fiction Edition Reviews

  • Nicholas George

    This is a wonderful collection of short stories, all of which have some connection to Pasadena (usually the stories are set all or in part in the city). Since I've lived in and around Pasadena for all my life, and I'm a writer myself, this book more than intrigued me and mostly didn't let me down. The writing uniformly ranges from good to excellent. Well worth it!

  • Colleen

    Who knew there is so much literary talent in one mid-size American city? Well, we did because we published this book. So many great stories and excerpts here, from a diverse range of exceptional authors.

  • Petrea Burchard

    I'm biased, I admit, because I have a story in the book. But there's a lot of good stuff in here. I mean really good stuff, and I'm not usually a big fan of short stories. But the voices, characters, and aspects of Pasadena sing clear. What a town.

  • Jill Polsby

    I already said somewhere else on this eternally confusing site that it was a fun, casual read of short stories occurring in and around pasadena
