Dave Zirin Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

All respect to author Derrick Barnes who cowrote with Smith: "Victory. Stand!: Raising My Fist for Justice". One parent complained and the school system buckled, disinviting Barnes. But teachers and parents didn't take this organized ignorance lying down. https://t.co/x06pbGO3kA

Read the book "An Enemy Such As This" by David Correia. Thank me later.

Just interviewed @fguridy for this week's @EdgeOfSportsPOD. His new book "The Sports Revolution: How Texas Changed the Culture of American Athletics" is a banger... or it slaps... or whatever TF people are saying. But for reals: read this book. https://bookshop.org/books/the-sports-revolution-how-texas-changed-the-culture-of-american-athletics/9781477321836

In celebration of Stephen King, who will be leaving this rancid platform if that apartheid wart make him pay for a blue check, top Five Books by the King: 5) Hearts In Atlantis; 4) Salem's Lot; 3) It; 2) The Shining; 1) Carrie (hon. mention to much. Except Cujo. That sucked)

Tonight at 8pm EST I'm talking to Etan Thomas for a virtual event about his new - and utterly fascinating - book of interviews and personal stories "Police Brutality and White Supremacy: The Fight Against American Traditions," Join the conversation! http://www.akashicbooks.com/events/virtual-event-etan-thomas-dave-zirin-powells-portland-or/

Spoke to Kai Bird who wrote American Prometheus (on Oppenheimer), which Chris Nolan is turning into a $200 million flick. Can any other director in Hollywood secure that much money for a serious film that doesn’t involve capes? Ang Lee maybe? Glad Nolan is doing it. Esp. now.

Appalling. These fascists love Israel, hate Jews. Art Spiegelman and Maus forever. https://t.co/u0SujTnEeI

My DL fave Baldwin book. Underappreciated. A gift.

“The Movement Made Us: A Father, a Son, and the Legacy of a Freedom Ride” by David Dennis, Jr. comes out on Tuesday. Trust me that this is special; a unique and vital contribution. Folks should check it out.
