The SF Book Scavenger Hunt is an initiative to help readers discover extraordinary books by largely unknown writers. Participants enter the coordinates provided with a Maps application like Google Maps to find the locations and claim the books. Every week since the scavenger hunt began in November 2020 we have been hiding books around Los Angeles, from the Marina to Koreatown to Beverly Hills, and our favorite locations are the artist painted utility boxes throughout the city. Now we are excited to announce that we are starting the scavenger hunt in San Francisco, and providing a fun way to explore San Francisco's disparate neighborhoods, from North Beach and Nob Hill to the Lower Haight and Glen Park!
It's an excellent way to have fun on Saturdays while social distancing, and to discover exceptional literary titles ranging from Viennese modernist works to obscure Latin American writers. On July 11th look for Kobo Abe's The Woman in the Dunes, Julio Cortazar's Blow-Up and Other Stories, Raymond Queneau's Exercises in Style, Adolfo Bioy Casares' The Invention of Morel, Eileen Chang's Love in a Fallen City, Italo Svevo's Zeno's Conscience, Alfred Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz, Robert Bresson's Interviews, Robert Musil's Five Women, Joseph Joubert's Notebooks, Will Alexander's The Sri Lankan Loxodrome and others!
