DESCRIPTION:Occupy History!\nA conversation with Andrej Grubacic and Terry 
 Bisson\n\nTuesday, December 6th: 7pm\n\nOccupy History! Rebelling against 
 reality, writers of Alternate History\nreshape the past in order to imagine 
 a different present. Philip Roth's\nThe Plot Against America (Lindbergh 
 beats Roosevelt) and Stephen King's\n11/22/63 (JFK lives) are bestselling 
 examples. Radical writers often dig\ndeeper, tampering with past events to 
 create a revolutionary and utopian\nToday. Join two PM authors for a 
 discussion of the problems, perils and\npleasures of researching, writing 
 (and reading!) Alternate History.\n\n***\n\nAndrej Grubacic is an anarchist 
 dissident and historian who has written prolifically on anarchism and the 
 history of the Balkans. He is a lecturer at the ZMedia Institute and 
 University of San Francisco.\nGrubacic is founding member of the Global 
 Balkans network of the Balkan anti-capitalist diaspora, the Yugoslav 
 Initiative for Economic Democracy, Kontrapunkt magazine, and ZBalkans – a 
 Balkan edition of Z Magazine on whose editorial board he also sits. He is 
 or has been active as an anarchist organizer in networks such as Planetary 
 Alternatives Network, the post-Yugoslav coalition of anti-authoritarian 
 collectives DSM!, Peoples Global Action, the World Social Forum, Freedom 
 Fight and, most recently, as a program director for the Global 
 Commons.\n\nTerry Bisson, who was for many years a Kentuckian living in New 
 York City, is now a New Yorker living in California. In addition to his 
 Hugo and Nebula award winning science fiction, he has written bios of Mumia 
 Abu-Jamal and Nat Turner. He is also the host of a popular San Francisco 
 reading series (SFinSF) and the Editor of PM’s new Outspoken Authors 
 pocketbook series.\n
