MARK DANNER at Town Hall Seattle |
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. In Stripping Bare the Body: Politics, Violence, War (Nation Books), award-winning author Mark Danner draws on over twenty-five years as a foreign affairs journalist for such publications as The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and The New York Times Magazine in giving readers an open-eyed view of the U.S. and its exercises of power. "The publication of Mark Danner's Stripping Bare the Body is a big deal ... Because Danner's writing over the past three decades forms a definitive, and absolutely riveting, chronicle of the dark side of the post-Cold War world, from Haiti to Abu Ghraib, and beyond. No other writer combines brilliant and outrageous reporting with brilliant and courageous political and moral thinking as Danner does. He's also, first and last, a breathtakingly good writer. For anyone who cares about the fate of our foreign policy and our republic and, indeed, the human condition, Stripping Bare the Body is a touchstone book." - Michael Pollan, joined by Dave Eggers, Andrew J. Bacevich, Adam Hochschild, Ron Suskind, and others in early praise. Mark Danner is a professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley, and the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs, Politics, and Humanities at Bard College. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or via www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006).
