LitQuake presents:
LIT CRAWL '24 ~
One of the most anticipated literary nights of the year, San Francisco's Lit Crawl is a massive, one-night literary pub crawl through San Francisco's Mission District that caps off our annual Litquake Festival.
Lit Crawl SF brings together 250+ authors and close to 5,000 fans for
the world’s largest free pop-up literary event.

Started in 2004, Lit Crawl cultivates a unique, resonant brand: smart and silly, worldly and wacky, with events presented in venues usual (bars, cafes, galleries, and bookstores)
and unusual (police stations, tattoo parlors, barbershops, and laundromats).

5:00pm RED LIGHT LIT
w/ Christine No, Giovanna Lomanto, Jennifer Lewis

LitQuake presents ~
Saint the Terrifying:
Josh Mohr w/ Peter Maravelis ~
Bay Area author Josh Mohr returns home
for a conversation with Peter Maravelis of City Lights! ~
TIX ​$12 adv / $15 door ~ 6:30pm - 9:00pm 

Co-presented with City Lights Booksellers & Publishers

Bay Area author Joshua Mohr taps the troubled vein of class warfare and gentrification in Oakland with his latest book Saint The Terrifying, an ambitious tale of love and retribution. An ex-con, Saint was raised in the wilds of Norway, where his father brought him up in the old traditions and taught him the way of the Viking. Now Saint finds himself immersed in the Oakland music scene and, off stage, hunting down criminals no one else cares to find. Saint’s role as hardboiled detective is informed by Mohr’s deft interweaving of recent history, including Oakland’s Ghost Ship warehouse fire—a tragedy that Mohr revisits in a bold act of reclamation. Join the author in conversation with Peter Maravelis of City Lights following a performance from Mohr’s band, Slummy. Doors at 6:30PM. $12 adv/$15 door

​Book sales for this event coordinated by City Lights Bookstore.
