DESCRIPTION:RICK WARTZMAN\nreading & booksigning for "Obscene in the Extreme"\nTuesday, 
 September 23 at 7:30 pm\n \nFew books have caused as big a stir as John 
 Steinbeck’s classic 1939 novel, "The Grapes of Wrath." Just a month after 
 publication, it was the nation’s number one bestseller; but in Kern 
 County, California - the Joads’ newfound home - the book was burned 
 publicly and banned from library shelves. "Obscene in the Extreme," by 
 California journalist and historian Rick Wartzman, tells the remarkable 
 story behind this fit of censorship.\n \nRick Wartzman is director of the 
 Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University and an Irvine senior 
 fellow at the New America Foundation. He spent two decades as a reporter 
 and editor at The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times. He is 
 co-author, with Mark Arax, of the award-winning bestseller "The King of 
 California: J.G. Boswell and the Making of a Secret American 
 Empire."\n\nThis Booksmith sponsored event will take place at The Booksmith 
 (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call 
 415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com     If you can't attend this event
