Join me at the San Francisco Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 28, for a celebration of To Kill a Mockingbird. The evening will begin with a screening of the short documentary Scott, Atticus, and Boo: A Celebration of 50 Years of To Kill a Mockingbird, by Mary McDonagh Murphy. Then Andrew Sean Greer, Jewelle Gomez, and I will sit down for a panel moderated by Oscar Villalon to talk about the book. I’ll talk about my visit down to Monroeville a few months ago, when I watched the annual local production of To Kill a Mockingbird on the courthouse lawn that inspired the town’s most revered resident, Harper Lee.

This event is also in commemoration of the American Libraries Association’s annual Banned Books Week. Event details here.
