Hear from Washington Post columnist Alexandra Petri, author of Alexandra Petri’s US History.

This witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Petri has been hailed as a “genius,” a “national treasure,” and “one of the funniest writers alive.”

In person attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions and have their books signed.
