Overview

Not since Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 has there been as unsettling a fictional journey into the Southern California state of mind as Michael Drinkard’s Disobedience. It is a darkly funny and unhingingly brilliant multigenerational novel set in the orange groves of Redlands, California, one that shuttles effortlessly from the late nineteenth century to the day after tomorrow.

Reviews
"Writers have always seen California as a place of promise as well as a territory of despair. . . . Drinkard has a strong sense of a California future full of technological and industrial wonders . . . and of cultural entropy. . . . He has a keen eye for detail, a sense of irony and the ability to draw sharply defined characters."–David W. Madden, "San Francisco Chronicle Review
