Bookshop West Portal is pleased to announce a virtual event with Gary Kamiya and Paul Madonna for their new book Spirits of San Francisco: Voyages Through the Unknown City. From two bestselling, prizewinning, and critically acclaimed contemporary chroniclers of San Francisco comes a rich, illustrated, idiosyncratic portrait of this great city. Gary Kamiya's Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco was a #1 bestseller and an award winner. Kamiya has been a fixture on the Bay Area literary scene for more than 30 years. Now he joins forces with celebrated, bestselling artist Paul Madonna of All Over Coffee to take a fresh look at this one-of-a-kind city. Marrying image and text in a way no book about this city has done before, Kamiya's captivating narratives accompany Madonna's masterful pen-and-ink drawings, breathing life into San Francisco sites both iconic and obscure. Please join us Thursday, October 29th at 6 PM for what will be a wonderful conversation between two passionate authors and celebrate our beloved city.
