The Great Tejon Club Jubilee


Not Tasteful...
Not Highbrow...
Not Politically (or Grammatically) Correct...
But Semi-Hilarious!

     In the tradition of Mark Twain and Will Rogers, Gerald Haslam's redoubtable Tejon-Club Gang returns the tall-tale and the bumpkin-humor traditions to their proper places in American letters ... where ever that is!

The gang manages to poke holes in social trends and elitist assumptions -- and in their own prejudices -- while bumbling from one beer-fueled misadventure to the next.

Thirteen short stories -- plus a disclaimer by the narrator -- introduce readers to these Good Ol' Boys who live and work in California's Great Central Valley.

Reviewer comments!

And for a laugh, page after page, you can't do better than this book of good ol' boy stories. — South Valley Arts

Haslam's fictional characters are based on real people, and that authenticity is what makes these stories great. — Jennifer Joseph, San Francisco Bay Guardian

Reviews from Amazon:

This book is a lighthearted set of fourteen short stories that are nothing short of hilarious. — Da

Great blue collar humor. Humor based on another time and another place, the California Central Valley 50 years ago, and loaded with insights of the working class there.

A five star book. Stories of a time and place that are very well told. A very good read. Highly Recommended. — Jerry L. Gibbon


I felt like I was a part of this book. By A Customer on December 25, 1997

Everyone interested in Calif. Oklahoma and Texas must read this book to understand how the Great Central Valley was conquered by these three states.
