Calendar
Friday, September 21, 7:30pm: Martin Amis with Mad Men’s Matthew Weiner
Martin Amis. Labeled an iconic writer, one of the best of the postwar British authors. Sometimes his novels are bitingly funny and ironic, and some books are dark and unsettling.
Thursday, September 13, 7:30pm: Junot Díaz with Christian Lander
Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and short story writer Junot Díaz writes some of the edgiest– and idealistic– prose in American fiction.
Fall Season coming soon: Junot Díaz. Martin Amis. Nick Hornby. Calvin Trillin. And so much more.
We hope you’re having a good and relaxing summer. We’ll post our upcoming programs soon, so watch for the following:
Monday, June 25, 7:30 pm: MSNBC’s Chris Hayes with Harry Shearer
If you sleep too late on weekend mornings to catch Chris Hayes’ MSNBC show, Up With Chris Hayes, then record it and watch it with your morning joe. You’ve seen him on MSNBC a thousand times, sitting in for your other favorite MSNBC anchors.
Friday, June 29, 2012, 7:30 pm: The Daily Show’s Kevin Bleyer with Lawrence O’Donnell
We hold some truths to be self-evident, and the most obvious is that The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is really funny. Kevin Bleyer is one of the writers on The Daily Show, and he is of course really funny. Follow the logic here: Kevin has written a book about the Constitution, and it too is really really funny. Not the ship, the Constitution, but the other Constitution, that brief document that has shaped our legal system, our government, our electoral system, and our society for the past 225 years.
