MIKE PALACEK – THE AMERICAN DREAM

Inspired by Jesuit peace activist Daniel Berrigan, Mike Palecek began his
own life long resistance against what Berrigan calls the "American military
imperialism." His life of civil disobedience, led Palecek to choose the
novel as his main weapon against a government he considers toxic to its
people. Satire, fiction and journalism are his primary tools for social
change. Palecek's newest book joins the chorus of journalists, writers and
plain old folk who are pleading for us all to WAKE UP



MONDAY 21 MAY @ 7PM

DAVID ROSE – BIG EDDY CLUB

David Rose is an award-winning contributing editor at Vanity Fair and has
worked for *The Guardian*, *The Observer*, and the BBC. He is the author of
five previous books, including *Guantánamo*. *The Big Eddy Club *is a
thorough and intriguing ten year exploration of facts surrounding the arrest
of African-American Carlton Gary for the horrific 1970s murders of seven
elderly white women. Though there is much to argue that Gary is the victim
of a criminal justice system manipulated to deny him due process, he remains
on death row.
