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.
Admission is free, but only on a first come, first serve basis. This event shall take place at an undisclosed location. Invitations may only be picked up in-person at the front counter of City Lights Bookstore, 261 Columbus Avenue. Ask for the black envelope. It will contain directions to the venue and starting time. Each invite admits two.
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.
