One is the most popular man on TV. The other isn't. One is "a major cultural force in America." The other just published an e-book about him. Join us as local author Bruce Watson discusses his new e-biography of "Daily Show" star Jon Stewart. This evening's talk will include:
INSIGHT: How Stewart rose from Jersey comic to "most trusted man on TV"
PERSONAL DETAILS: how Stewart proposed to his wife in a Times crossword
CLIPS: of Stewart's best segments from "The Daily Show," ranging from the 2000 Election re-count to the 2012 campaign
RANTS: how Stewart made satire matter and why that matters
Bruce Watson is the author of four actual books on American history and of countless columns for the Daily Hampshire Gazette and Amherst Bulletin. His books include Freedom Summer, Sacco and Vanzetti, and Bread and Roses. TheWashington Post named Sacco and Vanzetti one of its Top 10 Non-fiction Books of 2007.
Watson has written more than three dozen feature articles for Smithsonian. His work has appeared in theBoston Globe, theLos Angeles Times, American Heritage, theWall Street Journal, theWashington Post, Yankee, Reader’s Digest, and Best American Science and Nature Writing 2003. After his talk, he will e-sign e-books, if he can figure out how.
