David Rakoff, recipient of two Lambda Book Awards for Humor, insists that optimism is an irresponsible fad in his new book Half Empty. Meanwhile, author of The Official Preppy Handbook, Lisa Birnbach and legendary book jacket designer and novelist Chip Kidd team up with hilarious results to bring you True Prep. A session of social satire that is sure to go snap, crackle, pop.  Hosted by WGBH’s Jared Bowen.
