Elliott Bay Bookstore: BARBARA EHRENREICH (July 17 at 19:00)
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. One of this country's most engaged—and engaging—social and political critics, Barbara Ehrenreich makes this most welcome Seattle return for her new, timely, skewering book, This Land is Their Land (Metropolitan/Holt). ... (more)Yes, a certain class is taken to task. "Feisty, fearlessly progressive Ehrenreich offers laughter on the way to tears in 62 previously published essays that show 'the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer' ... Ehrenreich's reach is capacious, encompassing not only unemployment, health insurance, and inflation, but corporate spying, cancer studies, marriage education, 'the abstinence training business,' and 'Disney's Princess products.' Her passion, compassion and wit keep these excursions lively ... Entertaining Ehrenreich certainly is, but she raises a hard, serious question: 'How many wake-up calls do we need, people?'" - Publishers Weekly. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis (no tickets). The Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). Special $5 parking coupons are available for the Central Library garage on a limited basis for those attending the program. For more information, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, the library at (206) 386-4636, or see www.spl.org.
