All local politics are hard, but 鈥淥f Bears and Ballots鈥 shows us nothing worth doing is supposed to be easy. Lende鈥檚 fights and conflagrations as a member of the Haines, Alaska Borough Assembly are a perfect reflection of our national politics, and give us a good reason for hope.
鈥淟ende is a graceful and endearing writer, recapitulating the kink of wily, folksy wit and wisdom we associate with, say, Mark Twain, so much more powerful than the predictable 鈥榞otcha鈥 snark of our social media age. What a blessing Lende鈥檚 view of democracy, which she calls 鈥榞lorious chaos,鈥 is in this dark era,鈥 says the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Upcoming book festival events with 新澳门六合彩投注 include Jeffrey Toobin with 鈥淭rue Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Investigation of Donald Trump鈥 on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m.; 鈥淭im Weiner with 鈥淭he Folly and the Glory鈥 on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 5:30 p.m.; and Mitch Albom with 鈥淔inding Chicka: A Little Girl, an Earthquake, and the Making of a Family鈥 on Monday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. For more information, visit-新澳门六合彩投注-
