Hello Litquakers,
Your guide to the best night of the year is here.
Lit Crawl 2023 is the finale of all festival finales, the best literary party we’ve ever been to, something between a bar crawl and an invite-only reading on a rooftop, an introduction to the nooks and crannies of the Mission District, a presentation of the best new writers around, a peek into the future, and a celebration of the Bay Area’s artistic foundation. |

| Do you love books and have a few hours to spare this October?
Litquake kicks off next Thursday! Between then and Saturday, October 21 we have over 400 authors joining us in over 40 different venues across the Bay Area. That’s a lot of chairs to set up! If you want to help make these events happen, take a look at our schedule and sign up to lend a hand. |

Litquake Weekly Literary news, upcoming events, and whatever else we’re looking at...
“An elegant kickoff party will take place at the University Club atop Nob Hill with authors, members of the literary scene, and guests listening to live jazz from the Marcus Shelby Quartet and poetry readings from Litquake Out Loud curators.” Litquake’s latest leader talks this year’s festival and the future of the largest literary festival on the West Coast • 48 Hills
“When this year’s festival opens with a glamorous kickoff at Nob Hill's University Club on October 5th, it will mark the end of an era and the start of another; a new chapter, ahem.” 7x7 takes note of our events with Brontez Purnell, Suzanna Hoffs, Andrew Sean Greer, and Jessica Powell • 7x7
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday evening signed a bill into law barring school boards from banning books, instructional materials or curricula labeled as inclusive or diverse.” After months of reactionary bans by local school boards, Newsom has officially codified the right to a holistic, representative education • The Sacramento Bee
“If you attempt to access anything beyond your three monthly allotted Atlantic pieces, Jeffrey Goldberg will pay a personal visit to your home and do krav maga on you.” How are paywalls, twitter beefs, and an increase in reactionary journalism effecting our reading experience? • n+1
“...whether probing the liminal regions of sex and desire or exploring the nuances of loneliness and connection and the gray areas between friendship, love, and family—the razor-sharp prose of All Fours also offers a warm, generous blend of heartache and humor.” Rejoice! Writer and director Miranda July has a new novel, and it’s just as wonderfully uncanny and hilariously honest as you want it to be • Vogue |
