Everyone knows that San Francisco is surrounded on three sides by water. But few realize that live, running water bubbles up from the ground throughout the city, from Islais Creek in Glen Canyon, to a rivulet high up on Twin Peaks, to a spring in Alemany Farm. Gary Kamiya will look at the fascinating history of San Francisco's lost waters and explore the surprising ones that still exist.
Gary Kamiya was born in Oakland, grew up in Berkeley and has lived in San Francisco since 1971. He is the author of the bestselling Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco, which was awarded the 2013 Northern California Book Award in creative nonfiction. His first book was the critically acclaimed Shadow Knights: The Secret War Against Hitler. He was a founder and longtime executive editor of the pioneering Web site Salon.com. His work has appeared in the New York Times Book Review, Sports Illustrated, ArtForum, Mother Jones and many other publications. He is currently the executive editor of San Francisco Magazine and writes a history column, “Portals of the Past,” that appears every Saturday in the San Francisco Chronicle.
