Join Brazos Bookstore February 17 for a discussion of Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life with co-author Bill Minutaglio, a professor of journalism at the University of Texas and author of several critically acclaimed books.
Molly Ivins was a groomed for a gilded life, having been born into a moneyed family prominent in Houston society. But Molly Ivins left the country club behind to become one of the most provocative, courageous, and influential journalists in American history. Presidents and senators called her for advice; her column ran in 400 newspapers; her books were bestsellers. But despite her fame, few people really knew her: what her background was, who influenced her, how her political views developed, or how many painful struggles she fought.
Bill Minutaglio has distinguished himself as an award-winning Texas journalist with the Abilene Reporter-News, San Antonio Express-News, Houston Chronicle, and Dallas Morning News, where he has worked since 1983 as a special writer. His work has appeared in many national publications including Talk, where he is a contributing writer, and the New York Times. He has coauthored two books and served as a contributing author to three others. He lives in Austin with his two children and his wife, Holly.
This is event is co-sponsored by the Columbia University Club of South Texas, The Texas Observer, ACLU of Texas, and ROADWomen. The reading is free, but we will accept donations to support Houston breast cancer research, treatment and care in honor of Molly Ivins. For further information or to RSVP, call 713.523.0701 or email brazos@brazosbookstore.com.
