Join us for an evening with author Francine Masiello in conversation... Moving beyond stereotypical tales of poverty and deprivation in southern Italy, The Tomb of the Divers weaves an immigrant yarn about small-time artists and crooks who, over the course of a century, wend their way from Basilicata to the anarchist enclaves of Paterson, New Jersey and from fascist Italy during World War II to Buenos Aires after its  dirty war  of the 1980s. This multigenerational story is told by narrators Rosanna and Max, siblings who dig into family archives and dispute their revelations. But Francine Masiello doesn't let us distinguish history from fiction, truth from lies; instead, writing with pleasure and wit, she reminds readers of that old Italian saying . . . It's not true, but I believe it Francine Masiello is a writer and critic who has taught at the University of California at Berkeley where she holds the Ancker Distinguished Professorship in the Humanities (Emerita). With a long career as a Latin Americanist, she published on topics ranging from nineteenth-century literature to avant-garde movements of the 1920s. In recent years, she has turned to the representation of the senses under neoliberal order and now writes about the Global South. She has lived in New York, Italy, and Argentina, and has published fiction in English and Spanish.  The Tomb of the Divers  is her first novel.

Night view

yangduoduo17

What can be done here: from the Levis Square on sansome St, up to the top of Telegraph Hill, and down from the other side: down the steps of the hazel tree, down the steps of Greenwich. (I personally recommend going up the Greenwich steps and down the Scorpion Tree steps) - the view of SF from the top, the bay along the park, the towers, the statues of Christopher Columbus, You can also look at the interior wall paintings on the lower floors of the Coit Tower, and then spend $8 to make the elevator to the top of the tower, you can find a great 360-degree view of San Francisco in all directions - you can see the trees on the top of the mountain, There is also a documentary about these encounters that you can watch on Netflix.

Alcatraz Island

Historic buildings

一數

Alcatraz Island is a stone island in San Francisco Bay, close to the Golden Gate, facing the old town of San Francisco, the scenery around the island is very beautiful. Because the water around the island is very deep and the water flow is very fast, the island used to be a prison. The island, which held the most famous and dangerous prisoners in the United States in the last century, became famous, and Hollywood made movies, and now it is a San Francisco Bay attraction.

Golden Gate Park

Family-Friendly Attractions

112***09

This is a relatively large park near the Golden Gate Bridge, called Golden Gate Park. General tourists will not go to this attraction specially, because we are free to travel and can be more relaxed. The park environment design is unparalleled and worth checking in for sightseeing.

Lombard Street

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 24, 2017.

This attraction is unique, beautiful and interesting, and is definitely one of the must-see attractions when visiting San Francisco.

Lombard Street is actually a section of Lombard Street, located between Hyde Street and Leavenworth Street. This section of the road is a steep slope, but it is designed into eight hairpin turns, and flowers are planted on both sides of the road.

If you need to take a nine-turn effect, you must stand on Leavenworth Street, which is low in terrain.

Chinese people can drive in the western United States where San Francisco is located with a translated driver&#39;s license. If you can drive in San Francisco, you might as well go and experience the feeling of driving through Lombard Street yourself.
