As the American presence crumbles, Warren seeks escape in tsus, the mysterious “blood tea” that may be the final revenge of the defeated Khans—or that may be only a powerful hallucinogen operating on an uneasy mind—as a phantasmagoria of violence slowly envelops him.

Rose author, Inga Muscio, at Village Books in Bellingham, WA
June 8, 2011
June 8, 2011, Inga Muscio will be at Village Books in Bellingham, WA, discussing her latest work Rose. With trademark precision and razor-sharp wit, Muscio explores the impacts of passive violence, abuse, war, and cultural trauma on our most intimate lives in order to uncover a path toward healthy and imaginative sex and love. Rose breaks new ground in answering a fundamental question in most feminist and antiracist writing: how do we identify, witness, and then recover from trauma—as individuals, as families, as communities, and as a country? Location: 1200 11th Street Bellingham, WA 98225. For more information go to www.villagebooks.com.

Brian Kahn at Country Bookshelf in Bozeman, MT
April 27, 2011
April 27, 2011, 7:00pm, Brian Kahn will be at Country Bookshelf speaking about his book Real Common Sense: Using our Founding Values to Reclaim Our Nation and Stop the Radical Right from Hijacking America. America’s extreme Right falsely claims the Founding Fathers as allies for their radical agenda. Pundit Glenn Beck has gone so far as to use the title of Tom Paine’s famous 1776 pamphlet Common Sense for his own book—a book that attacks the political, social and economic rights which Paine and the Founders fought for! Kahn claims it’s time to cut through the rhetoric, smoke, and spin, and get back to our core American values. Location: 28 West Main Bozeman, Montana 59715.
