SAN FRANCISCO NOIR January 10, 2006

According to Pete Maravelis of City Lights Bookstore, crime fiction is "the scalpel used to reveal San Francisco's pathological character." From Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade right up to present-day protagonists, the city has long been rich in noir literature. With San Francisco Noir, Maravelis has assembled a stellar cast of San Francisco noir writers, including Barry Gifford, Robert Mailer Anderson, Kate Braverman and Peter Plate to help expose the "psycho-geography" of the city. Hear from Maravelis and writers have who contributed to this acclaimed volume.Submitted by Eventful on behalf of dano
