Contributors and Editors of Sunshine/Noir III: Writing from San Diego and Tijuana will share their work, including selections of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and answer questions from attendees.

Like the first two editions Sunshine/Noir III: Writing from San Diego and Tijuana presents the reader with a wide range of contemporary San Diego writers of fiction and nonfiction alike as well as poets, artists, and photographers. It explores San Diego and Tijuana’s border culture; the city’s multiple identities and lost history; the region’s natural beauty and endangered ecologies; its role as a center of the culture of war; and San Diego and Tijuana writers’ attempts to explore the meaning of place. By using a multiethnic, multidisciplinary, pan-artistic approach, this anthology offers a fresh look at a city yet to be explored in such a fashion. Sunshine/Noir III is not comprehensive, but rather stands only as a place marker in the continuing exploration of literary San Diego that leaves many borders yet to be crossed.
