Join the public library for an insightful, and likely hilarious, discussion between One City One Book author (and foolsFURY playwright) Doug Dorst, and author/Stanford University lecturer Adam Johnson. FoolsFURY will open the evening with a staged reading of an excerpt from Alive in Necropolis. After the conversation, there will be lots of time for audience questions and Doug Dorst will sign books.

This stunning novel has been selected as this year’s San Francisco Reads One City/One Book selection. Dorst’s thriller, set in the city of San Francisco and the cemeteries of Colma, is one part crime novel, one part ghost story, tinged with humor and heart. Among many colorful characters, the book features a rookie Colma cop navigating a world of both the dead and alive, and a San Francisco teen, struggling with his own version of reality.

“Like Dashiell Hammett, Dorst conveys a hard-bitten love of the physical San Francisco, the fog-swallowed town, the sun after rain, the mineshaft drops in temperature….The fiction seems to possess, and be possessed by, its beloved Bay.” - New York Times Book Review
