Join the Pen and Pencil Book Club! Our first book will be A Prayer for the City, a book about Ed Rendell's first term as mayor written by Pulitzer Prize winner Buzz Bissinger, who is in part known for his book Friday Night Lights -- among many other things.
Bissinger had what the New York Times called in 1998 "extraordinary access to report the inside story of big-city politics in Philadelphia" granted by Rendell, who was previously a Philly District Attorney and later became governor.
Join board member Aliya Schneider to discuss this Philly required-reading on Tuesday, July 29 at 7 p.m. The book is 448 pages, and this is a discussion meant for people who read the book, so hit up your local bookstore or dust off your Kindle and start reading. Please email aliyaschneider@gmail.com or RSVP here if you plan to attend.
