"If Dante had had the San Miguel experience, he may have written more about heaven and less about hell." Tom Robbins, 2008"We writers adore the clever, imaginative Literary Sala, the enthusiastic audiences, and the opportunity to learn.”Alice Denham, NY & SMA. Author, Sleeping With the Bad Boys.“There are many wonderful things in San Miguel ... but one of the finest is our Literary Sala. It is always an inspiration, a wake-up to new ideas & raising of consciousness that can't be avoided, if one just shows up”. Elsmarie Norby"I have been enormously moved by the enjoyable presentations of the San Miguel Authors Sala. Not only are the writers well-prepared, their talks are interesting and often emotional. Several years ago at the Writers' Conference, Sena Jeter Naslund made one of the most remarkable talks I have ever heard. It was a moving experience."Wayne Greenhaw, Montgomery, Alabama & San Miguel de Allende
“The Literary Sala events have been a constant source of intellectual stimulation and inspiration. They have become an integral part of our cultural experience and always meet our high expectations.” Adrienne and Arnie Brookstone
The Literary Sala exists to enrich your literary life, be it as a fan of literature or as a writer. After a career in book publishing, I began to write in San Miguel . . . the Literary Sala is my steadfast, codependent enabler as I shift from workaholic editor to obsessive observer and writer.
Vicki Gundrum, peripatetic, often in San Francisco and San Miguel

Described by one reviewer as the Gone with the Wind of Mexico, the astonishing true story of a heroine of Mexico's 1910 revolution is the subject of the Literary Sala's next community-wide book club selection.
The book is entitled In the Shadow of the Angel, written by Kathryn Blair, the daughter-in-law of the book's protagonist,.
In the Shadow of the Angel was written while Kathryn Blair was living in San Miguel during the 1970's, in the house that is now the home of George and Peggy Bell.
