MAC McCLELLAND at Seattle University |
03/29/2010 7:30 pm
Co-presented with the WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL. Mother Jones journalist and editor Mac McClelland writes of living—to her surprise—with rebels seeking to overthrow the long-running Burmese dictatorship, what their aspirations are, and the way they seek to realize those aspirations in her richly drawn book, For Us Surrender is Out of the Question: A Story from Burma's Never-ending War (Soft Skull). "Alternately poignant and raucous, angry and heartbreaking ... McClelland's reporting is very much from-the-ground-up, far livelier than we will ever get from the average foreign correspondent." – Adam Hochschild. "Gritty, informed, passionate ... McClelland's gonzo sensibility, big heart, and keen eye for weird details bring this tale of inhuman cruelty and human resilience vividly alive." – Gary Kamiya. Tickets ($10 members/students, $15 non-members) and information are available at www.world-affairs.org or (206) 441-5910. Wyckoff Auditorium is on the Seattle University campus at 901 Twelfth Avenue.
