Harmon Leon - Book Release

Sat, Nov 5
7:00pm
Free

Join Harmon Leon for a reading and release of his new book Republican
Like Me: Infiltrating Red States, White Ass, and Blue Suits
(Prometheus Books).


Known locally as the Infiltrator columnist for the SF Weekly, Leon
went undercover to find out what being conservative really means.
Leon's book explores the question that plagued many Democrats after
the 2004 presidential election, the question of how the conservative
mind works by becoming one of them.

Described as a cross between Michael Moore and South Park, entertains
readers with his accounts of donning personas ranging from an angry
convenience store clerk to a security guard at an Arnold
Schwarzenegger rally.


"Funny as hell." - Howard Stern

"Leon makes David Sedaris read like George Will-he's that funny." -
Booksense 76

"Read this book immediately. Then eat it. If they do take over, no
evidence will remain linking you to it." - The Yes Men

"REPUBLICAN LIKE ME turns the tables on red state rednecks who paint
lefties as exotic and un-American. With each incursion into such
conservative bastions as the Republican Party and racist hate groups
brazen liberal Harmon Leon exposes the right for the weirdos they
are. And he still has time left over to make fun of Democrats! A tour-
de-force of political satire." - Ted Rall/ Syndicated cartoonist

"One funny motherf*ckerhellipA very, very funny guy." - Jimmy Kimmel


Harmon also is the author of "The Harmon Chronicles." An award-
winning journalist, Leon has written for NPR's "This American Life,"
Esquire, Details, Salon, Stuff, and Wired. He's appeared on the
Howard Stern Show, Penn & Teller's Bullshit, and The Jamie Kennedy
Experiment
