MICHAEL KINSLEY
Wednesday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle

Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. For over a decade, to the surprise of many, Michael Kinsley has called Seattle home. Past editor of The New Republic and Harper's, and the founding editor of Slate, he presently keeps himself busy with a column in Time, and now the publication of his new book, Please Don't Remain Calm: Provocations and Commentaries (W.W. Norton). "Partisan political writing generally enjoys the life expectancy of a weather report, but this collection of Kinsley's trenchant commentary is worth preserving. Kingsley has assembled 127 essays on the American political scene from the Clinton administration to the present ... Kinsley is irresistible when he steps back from reporting to pose his trademark provocative—often humorous—questions ... While essays from recent years naturally feel more relevant, every essay in this collection sparkles with Kinsley's trademark brand of wit." - Publishers Weekly. $5 admission at the door (no advance tickets), with preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall Seattle is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). For more information, please see www.townhallseattle.org, or call (206) 652-4255, or Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
