Event Details

City Lights in conjunction with Cleis Press present another installment of Subterranean SF: Hardboiled Writing with an Edge featuring Katie Gilmartin’s Blackmail, My Love, an evening of storytelling delving into the darker side of San Francisco’s 1950’s Queer Underground.

Katie Gilmartin dug deeply into the annals of San Francisco’s storied past to produce Blackmail, My Love, a brilliantly conceived and artfully illustrated murder mystery that serves as a revelatory secret history of San Francisco’s Queer underground of the 1950s. Katie Gilmartin received a PhD in cultural studies from Yale, with an emphasis in Queer history.

Please note, this event is happening on November 13, not November 14, as was originally posted.
