Join Litquake and the Writers Grotto for this hilarious annual Regreturature fundraiser, where established authors share works they now regret, from fiction to nonfiction, journalism, opinion pieces, letters, and diary entries! Everybody has to start somewhere, and here's what happens when good writers start bad.
"People laughed until their sides hurt - and so did the writers" - KALW 91.7FM
"Hear authors read what they should've destroyed" - SF Weekly
With New York Times bestselling author Glen David Gold, Matthew Zapruder, Mary Ladd, Manjula Martin, Lizette Wanzer, and more to be announced! Emceed by Litquake co-founder Jack Boulware, and with the pianistic stylings of Marc Capelle.
Glen David Gold is the author of two novels, Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside. His essays, memoirs, and short fiction have appeared in McSweeney's, Playboy, Zyzzyva, The New York Times Magazine, and London's Independent.
Mary Ladd writes The Wig Report, comedic riffs about hair loss and major health issues. She has written for KQED, 7x7, SF Weekly, and San Francisco Chronicle, and eaten calf brains and testicles on TV with Anthony Bourdain.
Manjula Martin has contributed to the Virginia Quarterly Review, Aeon Magazine, Hazlitt, Pacific Standard, The Awl, and The Rumpus.
Lizette Wanzer is the recipient of grants from the Center for Cultural Innovation, San Francisco Arts Commission and the Creative Capacity Fund.
Matthew Zapruder is the author of four collections of poetry, most recently Come On All You Ghosts, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and Sun Bear. Why Poetry, a book of prose, is forthcoming from Ecco Press in 2016.
Doors open at 7 pm. Proceeds to benefit Litquake 2015.
