Of Mule and Man

By Mike Farrell

In May 2008shortly after being named by the Los Angeles Times as a Person of the Year”Mike Farrell drove himself across the country on a book tour like no other. Networking with political groups (and friends like Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame), Farrell has redefined the very concepts of book touring and "promotion" through a progressive lens.

Farrell has served on human rights and peace delegations to many countries around the world. His first book, Just Call Me Mike (Akashic Books, 2007), was a Los Angeles Times bestseller.

I like Mike Farrell & respect the activist work he does, particularly in conjunction with Death Penalty Focus. I recently attended a DPF awards dinner in Beverly Hills for which he was the M.C. The book itself, which I received a complimentary copy of at the benefit, is really his cross-country, speaking-tour travel blog translated into book format. Mildly engaging as such.

Diary format. It was fun and inspiring. Farrell was very enthusiastic about everything, but some of the compliments seemed empty or trite. His "relationship" talk with the rental car was too much even for me who drives a similar car.
