Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage
The former Massachusetts Congressman joins us! Gay, Jewish, reliably intellectually combative, and even more reliably disheveled, Barney Frank is an iconoclast in every sense of the word. In his fast-paced, moving, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny memoir, we meet the man more closely than ever before, coming face to face with someone “acerbic, pugnacious, saucy, and ferociously, intimidatingly smart… dedicated students of government and trivia-obsessed political geeks shouldn’t miss [Frank].” (The New York Times). Meet Congressman and author Barney Frank as he discusses his personal memoir.
Price: $20.50; JCC Member Price: $17.50
