The Rittenhouse Review reminds us of a great upcoming event at the Free Library. Thomas Frank is coming to town. He wrote What's the Matter with Kansas?
Molly Ivins has called Thomas Frank's New York Times bestseller What's the Matter with Kansas? "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests." Frank is the author of One Market Under God and The Conquest of Cool. He writes frequently for Harpers, The Nation, and Le Monde Diplomatique.He'll be speaking Thursday night, June 2nd at 7p at the Free Library at 1901 Vine St.
And on the following Tuesday, the 7th Newt Gingrich will speak at the Free Library at 3p. That's free as well. If you're not working, I'd love to hear what you thought of his talk. He'll be promoting his new book Never Call Retreat, but I'm sure that he'll stick some politics in there, it is inevitable. If anything the Q&A session will have some politically charged questions from this über Liberal Democratic city of ours.
And here's the author events page for future events.
