O'Neill and Associates and the Boston Harbor Hotel Host: Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage
O'Neill and Associates and the Boston Harbor Hotel will host former Congressman Barney Frank for a discussion of his memoir.
What: O’Neill and Associates and the Boston Harbor Hotel will host former Congressman Barney Frank for a discussion of his memoir Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage. In this feisty and often moving memoir, Frank candidly discusses the satisfactions, fears, and grudges that come with elected office. He recalls the emotional toll of living in the closet and how his public crusade against homophobia conflicted with his private accommodation of it. He discusses his painful quarrels with allies; his friendships with public figures, from Tip O’Neill to Sonny Bono; and how he found love with his husband, Jim Ready, becoming the first sitting member of Congress to enter a same-sex marriage. He also demonstrates how he used his rhetorical skills to expose his opponents’ hypocrisies and delusions. Through it all, he expertly analyzes the gifts a successful politician must bring to the job, and how even Congress can be made to work.
