Rick May, the force behind Noe Valley Word Week, has asked me to participate in a Saint Patrick’s Day celebration of Irish writing. I’m usually terrified of walking the streets of SF on that night, but I’m making an exception in honor of the neighborhood.

Details below. It’s being held in the VERY welcome new addition to 24th Street–Folio Books.

Monday, March 17th

Irish Literature at Odd Mondays
Folio Books
3957 24th Street
7-9pm

With guidance from Odd Monday organizers Ramon Sender and Judith Levy-Sender come celebrate St. Paddy’s Day with Irish Literature read by local authors! We’ll raise a glass or pint as Noe neighbors read passages from their favorite Irish lit. A rollicking good time will be had by all!



Local authors read from Irish literature in the genre they write in:

  • Novels: Scott Hutchins, author of A Working Theory of Love 
  • Nonfiction: Mary Jo Maconahay, Maya Roads
  • Short Stories: Richard May, Ginger Snaps: Photos & Stories
  • Poetry: Dan Richman, Farming in San Francisco
  • Folktales: Michelle Cannon Diaz, Ben Not a Puppy

In addition, Wayne Goodman & Peggy Cling will read a scene from the 1963 Irish play The Year of the Hiker by John B. Keane

The readers’ books and the Irish books they read from available for sale and signing. Irish refreshments and homemade Irish soda bread will be available. Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with your neighbors. FREE.
