Art Spiegelman on BookTV/c-span2

[TacticalPeek]

Just a heads up.

This has been an interesting session they are having today at the Strand book store.

1. "Pray for a Secular Future" - LOL!

That was on his 'protest' T-shirt at RNC last week.

And he's smoking on TV - naughty naughty.

2. I love that phrase!

[Bluebear]

3. "People don't read print news anymore"

Hence, they are far less sophisticated than our parents were, much easier to sway with propaganda...he made very interesting points.

[FDRrocks]

4. He was awesome...

I am definately picking up his book this week!

[K-W]

In Depth: Strand Book Store

Description: In 1927 Benjamin Bass founded the Strand Book Store along New York's long-famous and now-extinct "Book Row." Seventy-seven years later the store is still in the Bass family and is still a destination point for New Yorkers and visitors alike. It has grown to occupy four stories in its present location at 12th Street and Broadway, living up to the Strand slogan "18 miles of books." This Sunday, join Book TV at the Strand for live conversations with New York writers Art Spiegelman, Richard Brookhiser, Harold Evans, Amy Goodman, John Fund, Nicholas Basbanes, Marvin Mondlin, and Nat Hentoff; publishers Peter Osnos and Adam Bellow; and Strand owners Nancy Bass and Fred Bass. You can be a part of the show by calling in, or -- if you are in New York City -- by coming to the store to be part of the show's audience. The Strand is located at 828 Broadway.
