We have a very great event tomorrow night, and a delicious fundraiser on Thursday night. Come see us!

Also, be sure to check out the great events coming up this fall – just announced! Unless otherwise noted, events are free and at Internationalist Books.

COME CHECK OUT elin o’Hara slavick’s BOMB AFTER BOMB:
“Asking these images to be informative would be like asking those opening moments of Apocalypse Now to be informative, to spell out the number of Vietnamese dying in that jungle. The beauty of that moment, and the message it carries, can only be discovered in the awful self-realization that one has found beauty in murder, and pleasure in horror. At their best, o’Hara slavik’s images do all of this and more. Bomb After Bomb: A Violent Cartography begins with two great essays that frame the images very well. Howard Zinn discusses the naiveté of bombardiers from his own experiences in World War II, and Carol Mavor onsiders the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in both their beauty and their atrocity. The book concludes with an interview of o’Hara slavick by Catherine Lutz. Bomb After Bomb requires a lot of your time to consider. The images are full of depth and provoke much self-discovery. The essays are powerful, incendiary, and a perfect pairing with the imagery.” – bigredandshiny.com

THIS IS MY HOME by Adam Rust
Rust tells the stories of North Carolinians in manufactured, low-cost housing. These low-income families describe the successes of the manufactured housing program in eastern North Carolina, and the author will discuss how this program can help overcome the failures of other housing programs. It will serve as a solution, an asset in combating our nation’s affordable housing crisis.

THE TRANSCENDED CHRISTIAN by Daniel Helminiak
From the noted author of the best-selling What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality comes this insightful, powerful, and remarkably honest reflection on culture, sexuality, and church. Join him to discuss how you can question your faith and retain your spirituality at the same time.

TUESDAY 14 AUGUST @ 7PM
MYKEL BOARD
Celebrated Maximumrocknroll columnist Mykel Board will be here to discuss a variety of things, but will probably focus mostly on his books: Even a Daughter is Better than Nothing; and I, A-Me-ist. We’re really excited to have Mykel come, so please join us for a great evening of delightful conversation.

WEDNESDAY 29 AUGUST @ 7PM
BOMB AFTER BOMB by elin o’Hara slavick
See the review of o’Hara slavick’s book at the top of the email. She is a professor of art at UNC and she has created an absolutely amazing book that requires us to reconsider our government’s priorities.

WEDNESDAY 26 SEPTEMBER @ 7PM
VOICES OF SUDAN by David Johnson
Come by and listen to the story of a person’s trip to Sudan, where he witnessed a variety of atrocities that are mostly ignored by the US Government (and the US society!). Proceeds from the sale of the book go directly to workers in Sudan – no money filtered through bureaucratic systems. Join us for an amazing story and an extraordinarily important cause.
