Carlos Ramet will read from his just-launched novel The Quiet Limit of the World and be available for a book-signing and Q&A.
The Quiet Limit of the World is set in San Francisco in the seminal year 1978, a time of political ferment and personal discovery for the two central characters, Diego Contreras and Saloma Sevilla. While their relationship deepens, the City of San Francisco is shaken by assassination and riots and the bombing of a police station. Diego and Sevilla must also contend with a cast of quirky 1970s characters—drug-addled creative writing students, pompous professors, hangars-on in a boarding house—and come to terms with their own quiet limit of the world.
