A Rave Review on Publication Day

It's June 8 publication day! And Margaret Talbot and I received our first pub day review for our book, By the Light of Burning Dreams -- in the San Francisco Chronicle -- and it's a rave. I was especially gratified by these lines in the review: “If you’ve read either of the Talbot siblings, you know they don’t write anything dry. Simple saviors and canned profiles in courage are not for them. These essays bristle with energy and contention. They enjoy a good rivalry. They’re aware that just about anyone with the gumption to start a movement might not play well with others. But the contributions (of the radical leaders profiled in the book), more often than not, make them worth the frustration.”

Please join Margaret and me at 6 PM this evening for our free Zoom party, hosted by City Lights Books -- or for Zoom interviews with us hosted by 48 Hills on Thursday or the Praxis Peace Institute on Friday.

FYI, that's Black Panther leader Kathleen Cleaver, whom I interviewed for our chapter "Revolution Has Come, Time to Pick Up the Gun."
