Burial Fragments
“San Francisco, the millennial city: Mission and Market, bars and cafes, hills, bridges, and ocean. To read the pages of Keith Ekiss’s Burial Fragments is to follow a gorgeous thread of urban encounters until you reach the center of the anxious, frenetic, marvelous, and random maze that is life and fatherhood at the edge of America and the 21st century.”–Maria Hummel
