Saturday Books & Brunch cancelled, rescheduled for September

The Books & Brunch meeting scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18 is cancelled.

The discussion of “Strangers in Their Own Land” by Arlie Hochschild is rescheduled for noon on Sept. 15 in The Fourth Estate restaurant.

Books & Brunch is open to all National Press Club members and their guests, and it is not necessary to read the book in order to participate in the talk. Lunch can be ordered off the menu. RSVPs are required by contacting Fay Iudicello at [email protected] or call 703-989-4503 before noon on Thursday.

Hochschild told the PBS Newshour about her book: "I feel as if I had studied for four years the kindling, and then, when I went to see Donald Trump at his primary rally in New Orleans, I saw the match that lit the kindling. They see in him someone who recognizes their sense of loss and discouragement and someone who is going to rescue them, almost in a secular rapture."
