In her fascinating debut memoir, Little Comrades, Laurie Lewis tells the story of growing up in a devotedly left–wing, dysfunctional family in the Canadian West during the Depression, then moving to New York on the cusp of the McCarthy era. She’ll talk memory, family, and politics with Merrily Weisbord, also the daughter of fervent Communists and author of The Strangest Dream: Canadian Communism, the Spy Trials, and the Cold War.

General Admission: $12.50/$16.00 at the door.
