This summer's been busy for SF's literati. Between the monthly Writers with Drinks and last week's Litquake benefit, our city's scribes aren't getting a vacation anytime soon. Their latest offering, a series benefiting local and national progressive political candidates, features Jonathan Franzen, whose 2001 novel The Corrections attracted the attention of critics and the ire of Oprah's Book Club. Since then, Franzen has turned his razor-sharp observational powers to personal essays and memoirs, including 2006's The Discomfort Zone, which explores his '50s Middle America upbringing. Found magazine's Davy Rothbart and Mission literary all-star Michelle Tea also share their work.
