Litquake is proud to host the San Francisco launch of Love and Ruin: Tales of Obsession, Danger, and Heartbreak, from The Atavist magazine, the trailblazing leader in longform narrative writing. Atavist editor Evan Ratliff will be in conversation with Douglas McGray, Editor-in-Chief of California Sunday Magazine and Pop-Up Magazine. Book sales and signing to follow.
Since its founding in 2011, The Atavist has garnered an unprecedented eight National Magazine Award nominations and was the first all-digital publication to win in feature writing. This collection presents the finest examples of a new kind of nonfiction storytelling as practiced by a young generation of longform experts. These extraordinary stories of crime, passion, and adventure include Leslie Jamison's landmark portrait of a lonely whale named "52 Blue," Matthew Shaer's harrowing account of a shipwreck during Hurricane Sandy, and James Verini's prize-winning tale of romance and courage in Afghanistan.
The fascinating and original writing in Love and Ruin demonstrates why The Atavist has become the leader in publishing "remarkable...can't look away pieces of multimedia journalism" (The New York Times).
Evan Ratliff is the editor of The Atavist magazine. His writing has appeared in Wired, where he is a contributing editor The New Yorker National Geographic and other publications. He is also the story editor of Pop-Up Magazine, a live event.
Douglas McGray is Editor-in-Chief of California Sunday Magazine and Pop-Up Magazine, and the CEO of their publisher, California Sunday, Inc. His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Wired, and elsewhere. He is interested in the power of stories to explore important issues and ideas and to bring people together.
