Frank Norris
Polk Street, block by block, above a dental parlour. Norris pins his people to specific corners of the 1890s city and the flats of the East Bay, most of it erased by the 1906 earthquake a few years after he wrote it. The story then flees south and east, out of the setting entirely, to end in Death Valley.
