Call to action: Save Town Hall Seattle!
April 23, 2010
Town Hall Seattle is one of 25 northwestern organizations honored to be chosen by Partners in Preservation to compete for a $125,000 grant. To receive the funds, Town Hall must earn the greatest number of votes in a runoff poll conducted by Partners in Preservation.
Town Hall needs to restore our historic building’s cracked, white terra cotta tile. We’d also fix our beautiful, massive, but crumbling, stained glass window.
Town Hall’s stages have hosted everyone from Al Gore and Madeleine Albright to the King County Spelling Bee, Arundhati Roy and The Magnetic Fields. [And, of course, Ralph Nader.] With your help, they’ll be doing so for decades to come. —from the Town Hall Seattle website

Jerome Gold interviewed in Reading Local Seattle
July 22, 2009
. . . you have talked about how poverty and abuse is portrayed in mass culture. I remember you once saying that naturalistic books about the working class poor tend not to do very well and tend to be misunderstood. . . Why do you think that is?
I think novels about the working poor, or the poor generally, whether or not they’re working-class, don’t sell well because, by and large, the people who read novels aren’t from that class and don’t want to encounter the unpleasantness they associate with that class. It’s much easier to look at the poor as a people apart. That way, too, when they commit crimes, it’s easy to look at them as inherently bad, even evil. —Seattle Reading Local interviews Jerome Gold

Paranoia & Heartbreak reviewed in the Seattle Times
July 20, 2009
The Seattle-based author’s capacity for absorbing horror is considerable; his years in the U.S. Army Special Forces during the Vietnam War must have ensured that. But it is a mistake to take his unvarnished chronicle about these juvenile delinquents as another set of war stories, even when he confesses that he often thinks of the boys as his little soldiers. Within a few dozen pages, it becomes clear that this is a story of miracles. . . I ask myself, as I always do, “Would I read this if it wasn’t a review book? Why?”. . . Yes, because it’s real. Yes, because this is the world and the time in which we live. Yes, because Jerome Gold survived living it and the telling of it, so people like me can see the miraculous, awful truth and, maybe, step up and question why it has to be. —Seattle Times
