BOOKISH: Author Sander Hicks and the 9/11 truth movement

POSTED: Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 10:00 AM

Filed Under: Arts Books

Approaching the 11th anniversary of 9/11, the details of that horrific day may no longer plague our media, but in many ways the aftermath continues to surround us. For author Sander Hicks, even the specific details are still worth talking about. His book Slingshot to the Juggernaut: Total Resistance to Secrecy and War is Total Love for the Truth looks at the self-proclaimed “truth movement” that continues to question the events of 9/11 as they were portrayed by popular media.

Weaving together accounts from both the far left and conservative right, Hicks sheds light on the difficulties of establishing fact from fiction in a story now at the heart of our national identity. Often dismissed as foolish conspiracy, the 9/11 truth movement is re-examined a decade later with fresh evidence and the wisdom of hindsight. Be a part of the conversation this Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Moonstone Arts Center (110A S. 13th St.). Call 215-735-9600 for more info.
