The Elotes Man Will Soon Be Gone

The cart-pushing, corn-selling elotes man will soon be gone, warn the students of John Marshall High School. So, too, will they go; this stand-out generation of students will soon disappear into adulthood. The newest 826LA collection, The Elotes Man Will Soon Be Gone, captures and preserves their spirit for all to read.

This anthology of narratives, essays, and more tells you what life is like for these students. After reading musings on moving and the places we call home, confrontations with glass and dogs and death, an ode to Kurt Cobain, and a (literally) gut-wrenching fantasy, you'll be glad you caught The Elotes Man... before it's gone.
