Tom Brokaw refuses to retire, and the literary world isn't complaining. Since leaving NBC Nightly News — where he served as anchor and managing editor for 21 years — he's remained the baritone voice of smart commentary. He comes to Chicago to promote his latest book, Boom!, which focuses on the 1960s in America. Brokaw covers events both large (Vietnam) and small (the grey flannel suit), painting a vivid portrait of the iconic decade. It should go without saying that Brokaw does a fantastic job of reporting such wide-ranging subject matter, and tonight's event is a chance to hear his familiar voice give life to the material.
