You Play the Black and the Red Comes Up by Eric Knight

A new favorite. Can’t believe this is by the guy who wrote LASSIE.

“I thought about Genter and how he… told me about California being only a moving picture. I remember him saying that some lands were a father to a man, and beat him; and some were a mother to him, and loved him; and some were a wife, and had to be loved; but California was just a whore who dropped her pants down to the first man that came along with a watering-pot.”
