MoAD and Litquake present Nafissa Thompson-Spires in conversation with Margaret Wilkerson Sexton about her novel set in 1920s Oklahoma, where a moonshiner's death leaves his four 'wives' as suspects, at MoAD, 685 Mission St at 3rd (near Montgomery St BART). It runs 6–7:30 pm on Wednesday, Oct 21 (doors 5:30); free with a $10–$15 suggested donation, RSVP via Eventbrite. It's one of two Litquake events on our calendar that night, with Sherry Turkle at YBCA a block away.
