Gail, I'm a fan of yours and will be picking up The Movement even though I suspect we disagree politically (though not about the politics of inclusion). The ad DC released through the Huffington Post leads with the 1% vs. 99% class warfare rhetoric of the

I appreciate your courtesy, but the book really is NOT about Occupy, and I do feel that message has been very much invented.

I also feel like if all anyone takes from the Occupy movement is “poop on police cars,” I feel like that’s a willful misinterpretation. There was some rotten stuff that occurred at Occupy sites, it shouldn’t be papered over or forgotten. But that wasn’t what that movement was about, either.

I do feel like most books are pretty safe, I’d like to see more mainstream books take chances. Not everything is going to be to everyone’s tastes. I hope people will trust enough that they know it’s not going to just be an annoying political screed.
