Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets, 14th & V, present Ted Rall to discuss his new book Snowden.
Two-time winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer, Rall got his start as a political cartoonist by posting his work on the New York City streets. His venues have become more sophisticated, but in works such as the Attitude anthologies of subversive comics, The Anti-American Manifesto, and others, he shows he’s as edgy and outspoken as ever. His latest book profiles Edward Snowden, celebrating his courage in revealing the government’s vast surveillance network, and drawing on Orwell’s 1984 to show how much is at stake in the new era of digital technology.
