LYNN
GINSBURG & MARY TAYLOR
Thursday, March 7, 7:30 p.m.
For many American
women, long-time veterans of the battle with body
image and weight loss, the self-deprivation of
dieting has become a way of life. But we all know
the truth: if diets worked, then we wouldnt
find ourselves resolving time after time to
control our eating, to lose weight, this time for
good. In What are You Hungry For? (St. Martins, $23.95),
LYNN GINSBURG and MARY TAYLOR explore the
connections among women, food, and spirituality,
describing ways in which dieting veterans can
move beyond the surface level of culturally-dictated
looks and dieting, going deep within to discover
the true source of satisfaction that can fill the
void inside.

MICHAEL
MOORE
Saturday, March 9, 7:00 p.m.
at Flatirons Theater
The unstoppable
MICHAEL MOORE first won acclaim with Roger &
Methe biggest-grossing documentary film
ever; his Emmy-winning series, TV Nation and The
Awful Truth, brought his corporate-skewering
campaign straight into living rooms all across
America. In 1997, he became a bestselling author
with Downsize This!, reminding our nation that
our livelihoods are still mortgaged out at the
whim of CEOs and their shills. Now, recent events
in America and the world have brought him back
with a vengeance; somethings gone wrong
with the country, and Moore nails the culprits in
Stupid White Men (Regan, $24.95). With his
characteristic blend of comic provocation and
serious advocacy, Moore challenges everyone from
the current administration to Arafat, the male
gender, and the Democratic Party. Entertaining
and astonishing in equal measure, Moores
latest is possibly the most powerful in his
series of acts of satirical subversion, sure to
cause controversy on every side of the political
landscape.
This event
will be held at Flatirons Theater, 1089 13th
Street. Tickets are available at Boulder
Bookstore for $5.
Stupid White Men
Tickets are down

you can still get one of the last few.

CHRISTOPHER
MOORE
Thursday, March 14, 7:30 p.m.
The absence of
canonical works on the childhood and formative
years of Christ has long troubled scholars.
Between the manger and the mount, he may have
traveled. He certainly studied. And possibly
along the way, as CHRISTOPHER MOORE notes in his
new novel Lamb (William Morrow, $24.95),
Jesus might have picked up a little kung fu. Just
in case.
