Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Ron Suskind Holds Book-Signing November 12
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Ron Suskind will discuss and sign copies of his most recent New York Times bestseller, The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism, on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 7:00-8:30 p.m., at the Graduate School of Social Work.
Juxtaposing the human dramas of cultural collision with the controversial policies of the Bush administration and foreign leaders, Suskind's book weaves together a variety of story lines, painting a highly original portrait of the world we live in today. At the same time, it breaks major stories about prewar intelligence on Iraq, alleged deception by the U.S. government and the last months of Benazir Bhutto's life.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the Boettcher Foundation Community Room of Craig Hall, 2148 S. High Street, on the University of Denver Campus. No RSVP is necessary. Parking is available at metered lots around campus.
