The Stranger
Tonight’s your chance to meet the author of Zioncheck for President, the novel that inspired Stephan Gyllenhaal-directed Grassroots (currently filming in Seattle, starring Jason Biggs). As part of the Sorrento Hotel’s Penthouse Symposium series, author Phil Campbell and writer for The Stranger, Charles Mudede, will host a discussion about capturing the spirit of time and place in both words and film. The night will begin with a discussion of the Seattle film scene with Mudede. Campbell will follow with a reading from his new book, a global-warming satire set in Memphis, Tennessee. The event is free, but space is limited. For information about reservations, follow the Sorrento Hotel link.
