Today at the Brooklyn Book Festival I saw Chris Lehmann (Rich People Things) speak about the role of debt in our current politics. The best points were more political than historical. The talk was held in the beautiful Brooklyn Historical Society and hosted by a wonderful Stacey Vanek-Smith.
At the bookfair, many new presses were out as well as some pretty wacky self-published authors of erotic sci-fi. That is always fun.
