Strictly Speaking
An Evening with David Rakoff

The wry and the heartfelt combine in David Rakoff’s prose to resurrect that most-neglected of literary virtues: wit. “Looking like a pug and sounding like the love child of Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde, and All About Eve’s Addison DeWitt” (Atlanta Journal and Constitution), Rakoff has penned several New York Times best sellers, and his contributions to public radio’s This American Life have established him as one of today’s funniest, most insightful writers. His Berkeley appearance includes an audience Q&A and book signing.Please note that Mr. Rakoff has postponed his upcoming tour. The performance previously scheduled for Saturday, October 22, 2011 at 8 pm has been rescheduled for Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 7 pm. All current ticketbuyers have been notified by mail.
