Books and Brunch to Discuss Hochschild's "Strangers In Their Own Land" on Saturday

Books and Brunch will host a discussion of "Strangers In Their Own Land," written by sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild, at noon Saturday in the Fourth Estate Restaurant.

The event is open to all National Press Club members and their guests, and it is not necessary to read the book in order to participate in the talk. Lunch can be ordered off the menu. RSVPs are required by contacting Fay Iudicello at [email protected] or call 703-989-4503 before noon on Thursday.

Hochschild told the PBS Newshour about her book: "I feel as if I had studied for four years the kindling, and then, when I went to see Donald Trump at his primary rally in New Orleans, I saw the match that lit the kindling. They see in him someone who recognizes their sense of loss and discouragement and someone who is going to rescue them, almost in a secular rapture."
