Growing Up in San Franciso: More Boomer Memories from Playland to Candlestick Park
Thursday, October 20 at 7 PM
We are pleased to welcome back local author and historian Frank Dunnigan, who will share his second volume of unforgettable stories about the City by the Bay.
San Franciscans cherish memories of a place quite different than what newcomers and visitors experience: Seafood dinners at A. Sabella’s on Fisherman’s Wharf; the enormous Christmas tree in Union Square's City of Paris department store, and taking a handful of dimes to Playland-at-the-Beach for arcade games and cotton candy.

FRANCINE PROSE
Mister Monkey
Thursday, October 27 at 7 PM
Meet acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Francine Prose, who will read from her new novel. In Mister Monkey, Prose weaves an ingenious, darkly humorous, and brilliantly observant story that follows the exploits and intrigue of a constellation of characters affiliated with an off-off-off-off Broadway children's musical.
"Prose is at her consummate, canny best in this superbly incisive comedy of errors, a cleverly choreographed relay in which each character subtly passes the narrating baton on to the next, and what a beguiling and bedeviled cast this is!" – Booklist (starred review)
