Abstract	Plotting the geographic imaginary: nostalgic impulse in the California novel is a comparative project that questions the problematic nature of nostalgia and the complex relationship of Western fictions and facts. Through an exploration of geographic imaginaries -- as implemented by both Anglo and Chicano narratives -- I posit that California can be read as a palimpsest wherein the ranch functions as a compendium of multiethnic history in the West.
