Another fascinating installment, Sanj! I love their sense of community and that they look out for each other. We could certainly use more of that around here.

Thanks Hilary! There's something about the sense of community for sure. But wait for Part 3, all that glitters...

“We are all wounded children to some degree, and our adulthoods are the measure of how well we tend those wounds.” Simple and true and profound. These stories are like Agee’s Depression stories. I love these. Thank you. You’ve made me wary of the final installment. As usual. And I look forward to it.

I'm currently writing a short story about a geologist's visit to the slabs, and these articles are invaluable. Sanjiv's understanding and empathy, marvelous attention to detail, and broader American context of Slab City are monumental for my research (and, of course, my enjoyment). Thank you for this piece!
