CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY
Tuesday, May 1 at 7:30 p.m.
--THIS EVENT CANCELLED--

Down the hill at Elliott Bay itself, May begins with some wicked humor as Christopher (Thank You for Smoking) Buckley visits with a novel of the pending future, Boomsday (Twelve). In that future a younger generation takes aim at an older one—that of the present-day baby-boomers now heading towards retirement and those entitlements—and scores a bull's-eye. "With delectable, smart-talking characters and a devilishly clever story line, prizewinning humorist Buckley has created a scrumptiously shrewd and hilarious political satire that takes bold measure of the newly widening generation gap." - Donna Seaman, Booklist. "Christopher Buckley has come up with the season's best subject for a novel: euthanasia." - Adam Begley, New York Observer.
