OUR
MISSION

Litquake’s diverse live programs aim to inspire critical engagement with the key issues of the day, bring people together around the common humanity encapsulated in literature, and perpetuate a sense of literary community by providing a vibrant forum for Bay Area writing. Because we believe in literature as a public good, we work to produce events that are accessible to all.

LIT CAST PODCAST

How They Did It: Biographical Fiction

In the third of our "How They Did It" series from summer of 2024, we heard from four talented novelists who have blended fact with their fiction, with dazzling results. Novelist Jasmin Darznik moderated a wide-ranging conversation with novelists Karen Joy Fowler, Dawn Tripp, and Gail Tsukiyama. We gathered once again at the Page Street Co-Working space in Berkeley with our co-presenter LitCamp and book sales by Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore.
