The Black Men and Steven Spielberg

By Jules Okapi

Semi-autobiographical but mostly fantastical essay on growing up in the outdoors of California in the 1970s, and the importance of having family just as quirky and not-quirky as you are. A coming of age story not really about adolescence, but maybe about being an oddball among oddballs.

Keywords: memoir, California, Steven Spielberg, Saratoga, Bay Area, metaphysical and visionary, philosophical, environmental, coming of age, apocalypse, end of the world, family, growing up, childhood, magical realism, San Francisco
