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.

VOICES OF SUDAN by David Johnson
Come by and listen to the story of a person’s trip to Sudan, where he

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.
