Inside The Occupy Movement THIS Monday @ Tewksbury Library
Author of "99 Nights with the 99 Percent" will be by to discuss his book.
Join the Boston Phoenix's Chris Faraone for a discussion of his latest book -- "99 Nights with the 99 Percent: Dispatches From The First 3 Months of the Occupy Revolution."
About The Book: Occupy Wall Street was the biggest news story of 2011. Boston Phoenix staff writer Chris Faraone followed the movement like a storm chaser, standing out among some of the movement's most unique activist and journalistic voices. He is one of the rare few who gained the trust of the Occupiers as he blogged about OWS on a daily basis, from locations all across the country. But he also stepped back to investigate and analyze the protests from a bigger-picture perspective, through in-depth weekly features. This powerful analysis and insight is what fuels "99 Nights with the 99 Percent." The book features just-completed, unpublished work as well as many of Faranoe's acclaimed Boston Phoenix features and profiles on the Occupy movement, streamlined in an engaging 224-page political travelogue, with exclusive photographs, illustrations, and more.
About The Author: Beginning in September 2011, Chris Faraone - a writer with numerous News and Investigative awards from the Association of Alternative News Media (AAN) and New England Newspaper & Press Association (NENPA) - published a series of intricate Occupy portraits in the Boston Phoenix, as he traveled across the country, touching down from Miami and Chicago to Seattle and Oakland. His work explains Occupy operations in a variety of settings and reveals the characters that make the movement tick.
For those interested, a book selling and signing will follow this event.
