Sustain-a-Bull! Join us (and dozens of other locally owned, independent businesses) as we celebrate the importance of locally owned businesses to our community. We’ll have scores of our best titles on sale, 20% and 30% off. And we’ll give you a $5.00 gift card when you purchase $40.00 or more, or a $10.00 gift card for a purchase of $75.00 or more.
Give your home town a present this holiday season! Three times more of your money stays in our local economy when you shop at a locally owned, independent business, compared to shopping at a chain store. And of course if you shop on-line, almost none of your money stays around town. And that’s no bull!
Start: 7:00 pm
Ariel Dorfman will read from his new memoir, Feeding on Dreams. In September 1973, the military took power in Chile, and Ariel Dorfman, allied to deposed president Salvadore Allende, was forced to flee for his life. Feeding on Dreams is the story of the transformative decades of exile that followed—from the personal and political maelstroms underlying his migrations from Buenos Aires, on the run from Pinochet’s death squads, to safe houses in Paris and Amsterdam, and eventually to America, his childhood home. Dorfman is a Chilean novelist, playwright, essayist, journalist and human rights activist. He teaches at Duke University.
