Chris Hedges on America: The Farewell Tour. Kepler's Books, Menlo Park, CA
Chris Hedges discusses his most recent book 'America: The Farewell Tour' with interviewer Angie Coiro. The event was held at Kepler's Books in Menlo Park, CA on Saturday, September 8, 2018 from 4-5 PM.
Chris Hedges hasn't given up on America. That may not be the immediate impression from his reporting, nor from his books, where he describes the opioid crisis, the retreat into gambling to cope with economic distress, the pornification of culture, the rise of magical thinking, the celebration of sadism, hate, and plagues of suicides. But grasping the unvarnished reality is essential to fixing everything that's gone wrong both nationally and worldwide. Hedges' work, from his contribution to the New York Time's 2002 Pulitzer Prize to his most recent book America: The Farewell Tour urges us not to compromise as we assess today's political and societal realities. And he says that neither mainstream political party addresses our systemic problems - nor can they, until our country's corporate coup d’état is reversed.

Sarah Quigley at Menlo Park Library and Kepler's Books
Quigley discusses her book TMI at Write Night: Teen Writing Workshop December 8th 2009. Friends call Becca the Overshare Queen, but her tendency for TMI never seemed like a problem to her until she blabs about her sweet band-geek boyfriend's sloppy kisses--and gets dumped! Realizing it may be better to resist the temptation to overshare face-to-face, Becca decides to blog anonymously about everything instead. On her blog, Too Much Information, Becca unleashes her alter ego, Bella. Bella tells it like it is . . . though perhaps with a bit more drama. After all, no one's going to read it, right???

Kepler's: A successful reinvention
This past year at Kepler's has been a story of reinvention. Kepler's has transformed how it operates by creating an innovative hybrid business model with a community supported bookstore and a non-profit organization to expand cultural and literary programs. In our first year we have modernized the bookstore, more than doubled our inventory and brought more than 10,000 people to the literary and cultural programs organized by the new non-profit Peninsula Arts & Letters.
Kepler's and Peninsula Arts & Letters are the hub of intellectual life in our community. Please support us at:
