Hello Litquakers,
We're keeping up our 2022 momentum with another April event. Join us at the fabulous Amado’s in the Mission on Tuesday, April 19, when Daniel Handler and Andrew Sean Greer dive deep into their favorite paragraphs from literary history. They'll share their enthusiasm for language and storytelling with the help of a 1970s overhead projector, lots of laughs, adult beverages and you, the audience. Think of it as Literature Appreciation 101 with cocktails. Come for the laughs, stay for the libations.
Capacity is limited, so reserve your seats now!
Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay up to date, and tell your friends to subscribe to our newsletter for early access to all events, our podcast, videos, book recommendations, volunteer opportunities, and everything in between. |
