Ian Huebert’s beautiful, whimsical literary map – loosely inspired by one of St. Petersburg, Russia, by Vera Evstafieva and Andrew Biliter – fittingly evokes the colorful, free-form and text-rich rock concert posters from a music scene that put San Francisco on the map in the 1960s.
Of course, the map isn’t intended as a comprehensive collection of quotes about the city (apologies to Herbert Gold, Bret Harte, Khaled Hosseini, Fae Myenne Ng, Tom Wolfe and on and on).
“The Literary City” first appeared in the Books section of the San Francisco Chronicle and it maps the city’s landscape via a selection of quotes from novels, poems, and essays about San Francisco. Illustrated by Ian Huebert, the map is now available as a 18 x 24 poster.
