Specifically, he\u2019s from the small town of Ivanhoe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I would tell people I was from California, they had a certain set of assumptions as to what that meant,\u201d Kitterman said in a previous interview. \u201cIt was so far removed from my real experience that I thought I wanted to write stories about the California I grew up in, which is rural, agricultural, a long way from the ocean and, something I realized much later, very poor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This idea of writing stories about Ivanhoe, formed while Kitterman was a Master of Fine Arts student at the University of Montana in the 1980s, turned into a 30-year project. In May, Southern Methodist University Press released Kitterman\u2019s collection of short stories, \u201cFrom the San Joaquin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the Woodward Library Society, a nonprofit organization, is to strengthen the resources of the Felix G.
