The story behind tomorrow's V.S. Naipaul interview
And Friday's Pinto Canyon story
Friday's Weekend Read story on Pinto Canyon took the author to a place he did not expect.
Tomorrow's interview with V.S. Naipaul by Judith Moore was one of many author interviews she conducted including ones with Richard Ford, T. C. Boyle, Joyce Carol Oates, John Updike, Calvin Trillin, James Lee Burke, Czeslaw Milosz, Jamaica Kincaid, John Irving, Paul Theroux, Annie Dillard, Anita Brookner, David Sedaris, Mark Halperin.
Moore came to the Reader after she wrote a harrowing story about her mother and we re-printed it May 27, 1982. You can read it on page 20 of that date in the online Reader print archives available from homepage – story is not online.
Moore, awarded two NEA Fellowships for literature and a Guggenheim Fellowship, wrote feature stories for the paper until she died in 2006.
From 1986 she served as features editor and was a close advisor to the editor Jim Holman. She urged the hiring of future editors Ernie Grimm and Matt Lickona.
Dahmer's Diner cover
In 1993 she moved to San Diego to serve as editor-in-chief. There was a cover story that appeared while Moore was staying in San Diego featuring a band named Dahmer's Diner. A Reader sales manager approached Moore in the office to demand an explanation for a front cover the manager did not like. Moore left San Diego and stayed in Berkeley the rest of her career at the paper.
Moore hired nationally-known writers to come to San Diego and write feature stories, Including Alexander Theroux, David Lehman, Stephen Dobyns, Thomas Lux, Richard Meltzer, Frank Chin, Tim Brookes, W. S. DiPiero, Amy Gerstler, August Kleinzahler, Adam Parfrey, Ishmael Reed, Floyd Salas, John Thorne, Douglas Whyknott, Geoffrey Wolff, Al Young.
After her death, Moore was remembered by the writers who worked for her in a story, "She Hated Adverbs."

In an April, 2014 story, Robert Marcos followed up on the 2009 Pinto Canyon cover story of his we are running this Friday with a smaller story that gives a twist to the Pinto Canyon petroglyphs
The Maritime Museum's re-construction San Salvador, based partly on the petroglyph evidence found by Reader author Marcos
"...When the folks at the Maritime Museum of San Diego read that, they were “electrified.” Maggie Platt, an exhibit designer at the museum, called and asked if I would lead a group back to the petroglyph site so they could see it for themselves. A few days later I met Maggie and her husband Ted at the Texaco gas station in Ocotillo, about a hundred miles east of San Diego. Using an old map, I’d found a jeep road that would take us from Ocotillo into Davies Valley and bring us within two miles of Pinto Canyon....
"After viewing the petroglyphs in person and analyzing his data afterward, one of the experts concluded that, while there was no solid proof, the ships depicted in the rock carvings could be from “the expedition of Francisco Ulloa in 1539, the expedition of Sebastian Vizcaino in 1602, or the expedition of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542.” He followed with a sensational proposition: 'If the objects in the petroglyphs are indeed Spanish ships from one of the earlier expeditions, then it constitutes the earliest primary-source graphic representation of a historic event in American history.'
"At San Diego’s Spanish Landing, the Maritime Museum is putting the final touches on a full-sized, fully functional, and historically accurate replica of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s flagship, San Salvador. Not far from the galleon, museum officials have placed a replica of the petroglyph that I found in Pinto Canyon."
Marcos thinks there may be a better explnation:
The distance between Juan de Iturbe’s doomed pearl ship and Pinto Canyon.
"But it’s just as likely that the petroglyph represents Juan de Iturbe’s doomed pearl ship, which ran aground just six miles from Pinto Canyon. Most of the people who’ve seen the remains of Iturbe’s ship were riding in off-road vehicles. One of them, Imperial Valley resident Ed Barff, provided me with a precise location...."
