Inaugural "The Ed Lee Story" Book Club Meetup
Details
Meet at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce where hostess Rose Pak will accept $25,000 checks on behalf of Ed Lee. And then we'll read "The Ed Lee Story" book from cover to cover - all 132 pages, plus footnotes. Rose Pak will serve Ed Lee's "No-Longer Secret" Poongaloong Recipe (page 106) for hungry attendees for an extra $1,000 per serving.
"The Ed Lee Story: An Unexpected Mayor" Book Club Meetup brings together literature lovers to discuss this classic, definitive political work of fiction. "The Ed Lee Story" Book Club will particularly apply postmodern literary theory to this seminal work.
Familiarity with the critical theories of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Jacques Derrida, Noam Chomsky, Jürgen Habermas, and Roland Barthes will help facilitate discussion. Critical theory, as applied to "The Ed Lee Story," will illuminate the true meaning behind this book as a work of propaganda.
BOOK BACKGROUND:
Wildly expected to be a contender for next year's Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, "The Ed Lee Story" is a loosely fictionalized account of the life of appointed Mayor Ed Lee, who rose to political prominence based on a flat out lie. This 132-page epic tome, ghost written by ethically challenged author Enrique Pearce and funded by corrupt money from Rose Pak, presents Ed Lee as a common man yet only reinforces the notion that Ed Lee and his supporters are full of hubris.

EARLY BOOK REVIEWS:
"This book was clearly not illegally coordinated with Ed Lee and his campaign. Clearly. All those personal photos, stories, and access to people didn't come from the campaign. Really. They didn't." - The New York Times Book Review
"This book was better than Twilight. After finishing this book, readers will likely decide they're no longer Team Edward or Team Jacob, but they'll be a part of Team Ed, uh, we mean Team Rose." - Boston Review
"Our only disappointment was that we wanted to read a chapter describing how Ed Lee parted the Red Sea and walked on water." - San Francisco Chronicle Book Reviews
