Lerner emphasizes that a new approach to the issue requires giving
primacy to love\, kindness\, and generosity. It calls for challenging the
master narratives in both Israel and Palestine as well as the idea
that “homeland security” can be achieved through military\, political\,
economic\, or media domination. His presentation at St. James at 11\:30AM on February 26th is sure to be insightful\, inspiring\, and thought-provoking.
We're pleased to be teaming up with Litquake once again for their Epicenter Reading Series at the historic Tosca Cafe. This month\: journalist Kevin Berger will lead a conversation with LA-based writer Steve Erikson\, whose unique brand of postmodern fiction has over the years earned the praises of David Foster Wallace\, Thomas Pynchon\, Kathy Acker\, and Jonathan Lethem. Admission is free\, but space is limited\, so come early. For more info about the writers and the event\, check out the Epicenter website. See you there!
