| Ibtisam Barakat Jewish Community Center of San Francisco | Tue., December 2, 6:30pm | Richmond (Inner) | |
 We haven't heard this one before: "I consider the occupation a dehumanizing fact of Palestinian as well as Israeli lives." Tasting the Sky: a Palestinian Childhood is Ibtisam Barakat's novel, and she discusses it with Peter Waldman, Condé Naste Portfolio senior writer. In the book,... More >> |

| Sherman Alexie Herbst Theatre | Mon., December 1, 8:00pm | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
 Sherman Alexie is very funny and slightly menacing. This is how we like our men! Go to one of the prolific author's readings, and not only do you hear stories from his books — to generalize, they're cynical-genius love criticism of Indians and everyone else — but also, you might get... More >> |

| Tom Brokaw Book Passage | Fri., November 28, 11:00am | Embarcadero | |
 Tom Brokaw was one of the greatest anchors in the greatest era for anchors (the '80s?) and as such he had one of, perhaps thee, greatest newscaster voice -- a deep, roiling baritone that sounded like he had just come from the dentist, the NBC cafeteria, or FAO Schwarz (marbles). It had a... More >> |

| "Banned and Recovered: Artists Respond to Censorship" San Francisco Center for the Book | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Fri., August 15 until Wed., November 26 | South of Market | |
 Try to imagine the people so deeply offended by Harry Potter that they organized themselves, filed papers, lobbied politicians, and had that wizard brat banned from their public library. What the fuck is wrong with those people? Other freaks had The Color Purple, (Why? Too … good?) Tom... More >> |

| "K'vetsh" Eros | First Sunday of every month, 8:00pm | Castro/Noe Valley | |
 All 12 acts on the bill at the K’vetsh 12-Year Anniversary Show are great: Sister Spit superstar and author Sara Seinberg is kind of a big deal, for example.

| "Poetry at the 33" 3300 Club | Last Tuesday of every month, 7:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 Most of what we know about Poetry at the 33 is that Kim Addonizio either used to hang out there or still does. That may sound like it isn't very much to go on, but Addonizio is one of the city's most underrated talents. She's a fucking genius, if you want to know the truth. If there's any... More >> |

| Porchlight: A Storytelling Series Verdi Club | Fourth Monday of every month, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 We're squeamish. We can hardly believe people even get Brazilian bikini waxes, let alone give them for a living. It seems so invasive; isn't that hair there for a reason? Yet ripping off the follicles around your anus is hardly the weirdest thing you can do to your body — and bodies... More >> |

| "Smack Dab" Magnet | Third Wednesday of every month, 7:30pm | Castro/Noe Valley | |
 Time was, the Castro District was about dumpster diving for costumes, puttin' on a show, and expressing yourself in opposition to a stultifying, consumer-driven status quo. Monthly open-mike night "Smack Dab"'s co-producers, Kirk Read and Larry-Bob Roberts, are dedicated to bringing some of... More >> |

| Spanish Book Group Modern Times Bookstore | Fourth Tuesday of every month, 7:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
 For eight years, native speakers and other people who can hold up their end of a literary conversation in Spanish have gathered at the end of every month, in the back room of the Mission District's famous workers-collective bookstore. Does Oprah know about this? It kind of takes the whole... More >> |

| Talk Show Live SF 330 Ritch | Second Monday of every month, 8:00pm | South of Market | |
| Who says you need a nationally televised audience to have a talk show? Or even a public-access audience? Really, all you need is a group to clap guests on and off the stage. Once a month, sketch-comedy vet Kurt Bodden mans the desk of his own show, Talk Show Live: San Francisco, in a famed... More >> | |||
