Is Nonfiction Literature? Exploring the Intersection of Fact and Art – San Francisco, CA

Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in San Francisco, CA. Happening on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at San Francisco Public Library, Saroyan Gallery. Doors open at 2:00 PM.

Can works driven by facts aspire to true artistry, or does the burden of representing reality inherently place it in a different category?

Part of Litquake Writers Weekend

Although memoir and narrative nonfiction continue to thrive as genres, the writers of such works tend to be seen as something other than artists—reporters, survivors, historians, social thinkers, yes, but not artists. Can works driven by facts aspire to true artistry, or does the burden of representing reality inherently place it in a different category? Together, writers Tom Barbash, Lindsey Crittenden, Glen David Gold, and Rachel Howard, along with moderator Jason Roberts, explore these worthwhile questions. FREE, $10–15 suggested donation
