Think... for a change.
As founder of The Warren Report, Warren Etheredge hosts over 250 events every year,
a podcast and television series. The Warren Report promotes "slow culture" through commentary, outreach,
events and education. Our principle: Smarter audiences make a better world!
Dads come in all shapes and sizes, full of crullers and weed. They can be negligent or deadbeat, abandoning or abusive. Perhaps, a few, even turn out well. Of course they do. And for them, Father’s Day should be a celebration of that rarest breed, the man who strives to raise a family responsibly. For those brave souls, The Warren Report — in conjunction with Kim Ricketts Book Events — is proud to offer two special editions of Words & Wine, at The Pan Pacific Hotel, that honor these best men and their greatest achievements. Watch today’s THINK! piece for a taste of tonight’s treat with author Michael Lewis (tickets may be purchased at the door), then read on to discover who’ll join me on Monday the 15th.

Next up in Words & Wine is an evening with Michael Lewis. The bestselling author of Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Blind Side, Coach and others, Lewis now turns his journalist’s eye on his own brand of modern fatherhood. Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood is the written record of what actually happened after the birth of each of his three children. It is maybe the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded, from the point of view of the man inside. And, as Malcolm Gladwell writes: “Lewis is the finest storyteller of our generation.” Join us on Thursday night, June 11 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, 6:30 pm for an evening with Michael Lewis.
On Monday, June 15: Words & Wine welcomes Andre Dubus III for a conversation about his new novel, The Garden of Last Days.
Following the amazing success of House of Sand and Fog (both as a novel and a film), Dubus ventures again into the dark side of our modern world, where desperate characters are caught up in a plot thundering toward catastrophe. It is a tense psychological thriller, “muscular and disquieting and turn-the-pages-so-fast-you-tear-them good.” (Esquire) Join us for a night of conversation with Andre Dubus III on fiction, film, family and everything in between onJune 15 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, 6:30 pm. All Words & Wine evenings are $45 per person, which includes a copy of the author’s new book, all wine and appetizers. Reservations can be made via our website: www.kimricketts.com/wordswine.html. The Words & Wine series is sponsored by the Pan Pacific Hotel Seattle, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, The Warren Report, Seattle Magazine, and Theo Chocolate . |
