What a great time to promote one's book

On Monday I visited the Housing Works Used Book Cafe in New York City to see John Powers talk about his book Sore Winners. As I've just made it past the first chapter, I can't comment on the book itself, but John Powers was an interesting guy. He's self aware enough to realize that his book is currently being buried by an avalanche of anti-Bush literature, right now, and he's attempting to differentiate himself from the pack by doing a cultural analysis of Bush supporters, a la David Brooks (but better, we hope).

On another note, the bookstore itself is great, having a good selection of inexpensive books and records (!).

Those in New York City can find the entire schedule of various events related to the convention (and related to opposition to the convention) can check out The People's Guide to the Republican National Convention.
