The New Center for Arts & Culture presents, a discussion with author and chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, Mark Leibovich, to talk about his new book This Town. The best-selling book undresses our nation’s capital to expose an outrageous—and outrageously funny—world of egotism, rivalry, dishonesty, and double-dealing, a world in which funerals become social events and every party is a circus.
Leibovich will talk with Boston Globe editorial page editor, Peter Canellos, about life inside the Beltway and how politicians and the media both compete and conspire to create a toxic culture.
Prior to coming to the Times Magazine, Leibovich was a national political reporter in the Times' DC bureau. He has also worked at The Washington Post, The San Jose Mercury News and The Boston Phoenix, and is the author of The New Imperialists, a collection of profiles on technology pioneers.
