A dark, fast-paced proletarian novel originally published in 1949,
Thieves' Market was written out of the author's youthful
experiences as a trucker carrying produce to the packing houses of
California's Central Valley. Immigrant Nick Garcos, like his father
before him, becomes an independent trucker, soon landing in the
brutal and crooked underworld of the produce markets of San
Francisco, Oakland, Stockton, and Los Angeles. This title is
part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates
University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate
the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing
on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality,
peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using
print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in
1949.
