Anthony Doerr has been lauded for his lyricism, his precise attention to the physical world, and his gift for metaphor. The San Francisco Chronicle characterized Doerr’s literary ancestry as a combination of “Henry David Thoreau (for his pantheistic passions) and Gabriel García Márquez (for his crystal-cut prose and dreamy magic realism).” Included in the ticket is live music from Derren Raser to begin at 6:15, when doors open for general admission seating. The 28th Annual Writer's Symposium by the Sea will be February 21-24, 2023, also featuring Pulitzer winning writers N. Scott Momaday, Maria Hinojosa and William Finnegan. For more info, visit here!
