“Hilton Obenzinger is an American original. His lost histories are acts
of legerdemain and cunning … mixing truth and imagination in ways rarely
seen before. Cannibal Eliot is a wonderful, profoundly entertaining
book.” — Paul Auster “Obenzinger … offers stories from San Francisco's colorful past, superbly
twisting fact and fancy in a delightful, memorable concoction.… Vivid,
poignantly reconstructed moments in history — all rendered with wit and
a keen eye for the quirks in human nature.” “Marvelously authentic.… A loving but honest tribute to a city that
even now, in its tamer middle age, continues to capture the imagination
of the world.” See also RUNNING THROUGH FIRE, by Zosia Goldberg as told to Hilton Obenzinger, with an introduction by Paul Auster. |
