Olivia Boler is a freelance writer and associate editor for "The Noe
Valley Voice." A graduate of the UC Davis Creative Writing Program, she
is the author of the novel "Year of the Smoke Girl" (Dry Bones Press,
Inc. 2000). She will read from her novel as well as from new
works-in-progress. A question and answer session will follow. Poet and activist
Gary Snyder calls "Year of the Smoke Girl" "a dense weave in the
cross-cultural, multi-racial world of complex, educated hip contemporary
coast-to-coast America...It is a fine first novel, rich in paradox and
detail." Join us at the Noe Valley Pizza (northeast corner of 24th Street &
Sanchez) for our traditional no- host supper at 5:30 PM before the event.
