A(lexandra) P(etri’s) US History

{ "name":"A(lexandra) P(etri’s) US History", "description":"Alexandra Petri is no stranger to making history—this Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree became the youngest-ever columnist for the Washington Post, and she's also an International Pun Champion. Her timely takes on political events have previously been collected in the hilarious Nothing Is Wrong and Here Is Why—and were infamously miscategorized as news by the Trump administration, who included one of her satirical columns in a daily press briefing. Now Petri is making up history; in A(lexandra) P(etri's) US History: Important American Documents (I Made Up), she casts her withering glance backward, compiling ”historical fan fiction” that includes essential chronicles such as John and Abigail Adams's experiments in sexting and Ayn Rand's retelling of The Little Engine that Could. If you're a student of history, you emphatically won't want to use Petri's book as a primary source—but this uproarious conversation with Alexandra Petri and Joe Garofoli, senior political writer for the San Francisco Chronicle, will give you a brand-new way to look (and laugh) at our nation's complicated past.", "startDate":"2023-05-07", "endDate":"2023-05-07", "startTime":"12:30", "endTime":"13:30", "location":"SF Chronicle Stage in the Park", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "MicrosoftTeams", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"America/Los_Angeles", "iCalFileName":"Reminder-Event" }
