6:30PM Reading
Urban Worrier: Making Politics Personal is a collection of Frank Gruber's "What I Say" columns from the election of 2000 to that of 2004. The book intertwines several narrative threads, dealing with local politics, local issues, and local life (from the comic to the tragic), and the world outside Santa Monica. The book turns current events into recent history, and reminds readers that inside the brain of any alert person living in a city is a lot more than what he or she reads on the op-ed pages of big newspapers or watches on TV news. "All politics is local", said Tip O'Neill, and Gruber shows why.
Frank Gruber, a lawyer by profession, moved to Santa Monica in the '80s and became involved in Santa Monica politics in the '90s. He ultimately served four years on the Planning Commission, from 1995 to 1999. In 2000 he started to write a weekly column, called "What I Say," for the Santa Monica Lookout News, a pioneering local news website that had been created two years earlier after the city's century-old newspaper was closed down. Frank's aim in writing the column has been to treat local life and politics in Santa Monica with the same kind of attention typically applied in American journalism only to national affairs. He's now been writing the column for almost nine years.
Stop by early for Beach House tours by docents from the Santa Monica Conservancy before every evening event, first come, first served. Bring a picnic - Back on the Beach is closed on Monday evenings.
