Litquake, San Francisco's annual literary festival, was founded by Bay Area writers in order to put on a week-long literary spectacle for book lovers, and San Francisco Public Library has
been a part of the fun since the beginning, hosting the annual Off the Richter Scales readings in the Koret Auditorium since 2002.
This year, you can catch more than 70 fiction writers, mystery authors, graphic novelists, teen writers, poets and more at the library as they read on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5
during themed hours including “Show & Tell: Where Grammar & Graphics Meet,” “Now We're Cooking: Food & Drink,” “Human Nature: The Way We Are” and “Around the World in 60 Minutes.”
Readers include Paul Madonna, Erich Origen, Siddharth Shanghvi, Ann Packer, Elizabeth Falkner, Julia Flynn Siler, Michael Krasny, Michael McClure, Bryant Terry, Cara Black, Jewelle Gomez,
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Nguyen Do, Katie Crouch, Jordan Fisher Smith, Karen Joy Fowler and more!
