 share his new book "Tell Me Something, Tell Me Anything, Even If It's a 
 Lie: A Memoir in Essays". Steve will read from and discuss his memoir and 
 will sign copies after the presentation. He will be joined in conversation 
 by MARK DANNER.\n\nThese essays include the remarkable tale of a bookstore

 than three decades has written on war, politics and conflict. Danner holds
