Season of the Witch Author David Talbot Appears Next Week
at San Francisco Main Library

for Final One City One Book Program

Cover image of Season of the WitchSan Francisco’s 11th Annual One City One Book program will finish up its programming next week with Season of the Witch author David Talbot in a round table conversation that highlights a magnificent book and celebrates the spirit of San Francisco Then and Now.  The panel discussion will include a variety of San Francisco luminaries that will share their stories regarding the tumultuous period of time detailed in the book.

The late 1960s through the early 1980s offered up turbulent and raucous times throughout the City and brought everything from kidnappings, health crises, assassinations and the after effects of the Summer of Love.  This roundtable discussion will give insight and multiple viewpoints regarding the events that shaped what San Francisco is now.

One City One Book’s main event will be at 6:30pm on November 12, 2015 at the San Francisco Main Library’s Koret Auditorium. Author Talbot will be in conversation with television and radio journalist Belva Davis, former City Attorney Louise Renne and Christopher Moscone, son of former Mayor George Moscone.  John Diaz of the San Francisco Chronicle will moderate. All One City One Book events are sponsored by Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.
