The Valley of Heart's Delight
(1948)
Bio
Born and raised in Silicon Valley (aka The Valley of Heart's Delight), Jafari Joseph grew up in San José, completing a BS in Economics (2001) and a MBA from Santa Clara University (2006).
Jafari taught himself how to “write code that sings” while working 20+ years in higher education.
But fiction was his first love.
Love for his hometown (San José) birthed a small book—a novella—The Valley of Heart's Delight (2023).
“A coming-of-age story of a Black creative and his search for belonging besides his comically inept, but lifesaving family hints hard at work in sunny Northern California.”
