POPULAR POPULIST. Spend an evening getting to know the guy who wrote If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They Would Have Given Us Candidates.
Jim Hightower, one of the country's most outspoken authors, speaks his mind with a healthy dose of humor. His is a ticklish straight-talking, anti-establishment approach.
Hightower is doing "Breaking the Rules," a benefit for Primavera Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting economic and social justice.
The evening with Hightower begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. Tickets are $25 and are available at Antigone Books, Silverbell Trading, Reader Oasis and Primavera Services. For more information, please call 882-5383.
THE MEASURE OF A MAN. What is the measure of a man's life?
Is it success? Love? Friendship?
Ray Henriques has them all, and more, but just lately, the sum of all these things is not enough.
But Ray is hardly alone in his quest for more, a deeper meaning to it all. His lover, Jesse, has a deadline for his search--death by AIDS.
And there is Mike Tedesco, a married father of two, who is looking for the heart of masculinity.
These characters and their crossing lives form the background for Felice Picano's Onyx, a multifaceted exploration of love, motivation and the sometimes hollow center beneath a polished surface.
Picano, whose other books include Like People in History and The Book of Lies, will be reading from Onyx and signing copies of the book at 7 p.m. Friday at Antigone Books, 411 N. Fourth Ave. For more information, please call 792-3715.
