99 Nights With The 99 Percent: Inside The Occupy Movement

Occupy Wall Street was the biggest news story of 2011.  Boston Phoenix staff writer Chris Faraone followed the movement like a storm chaser, standing out among some of the movement's most unique activist and journalistic voices.  He is one of the rare few who gained the trust of the Occupiers as he blogged about OWS on a daily basis, from locations all across the country.  But he also stepped back to investigate and analyze the protests from a bigger-picture perspective, through in-depth weekly features.  This powerful analysis and insight is what fuels "99 Nights with the 99 Percent: Dispatches From The First 3 Months of the Occupy Revolution."   The book features just-completed, unpublished work as well as many of Faranoe's acclaimed Boston Phoenix features and profiles on the Occupy movement, streamlined in an engaging 224-page political travelogue, with exclusive photographs, illustrations, and more.

Talk will be held in the Meeting Room.  Doors open at 6:00pm.  Talk begins at 5:45pm.  Seating is limited.  The room is handicap accessible.  A door prize will be awarded.
