This Week At Cafe
Happy Monday Cafe-ers!
As you may have noticed by glancing at the banners on the right side of TPMCafe, we've got some exciting new things happening this week. Novelist Joseph O'Neill is joining us for a Book Club discussion on his new book Netherland. I'm particularly excited about this because it's the first TPMCafe discussion on a novel (!) and because I found the book particularly beautiful, politically relevant and worthy of further discussion. Joining him will be novelist and critic Dale Peck, New York Magazine writer Kurt Andersen, Mia Carter professor of English at University of Texas at Austin and Will Buckley of The Guardian. Joe's first post will be up in an hour or so, and I'll let him introduce the argument.
Also at Cafe all week, Chris Hayes will be joining us for a discussion on his recent Nation article, "MoveOn at Ten." Discussing with him will be Eli Pariser, director of MoveOn.org, Ben Brandzel, founder of MoveOn Student Action, Matt Stoller, a political consultant and blogger, John Stauber, founder of the Center for Media and Democracy and Marshall Ganz, public policy lecturer at Harvard University.
We're going to be digging in to some meaty stuff, and I think that both conversations have a real timely relevance as we move towards the election, and think about the direction that American politics, and American communities, are heading in. And the work that needs to be done. Join us!
