Book Signing with Dan Mathews April 7, 2008

As the world’s most visible champion of animal rights, Dan Mathews has been as admonished for his strong beliefs and irreverent style as he is admired for his guts and passion. His colorful crusades often land the PETA VP behind bars—or enlisting stars. For two decades he has made animal rights the “it” cause, with campaigns such as “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur,” which have made activism relevant for today’s escapist society.

In "Committed: A Rabble Rouser’s Memoir", Mathews presents a remarkably candid and wildly entertaining account of his unconventional life and incredible tenure as one of the world’s most famous firebrands. Filled with stories ranging from the hilarious to the horrific, Mathews reveals how his devotion to fighting cruelty stems from the gay-bashing he endured as an adolescent, and how he managed to pull off some of his most outrageous, controversial, and effective campaigns.

Join Dan Mathews as he reads and signs "Committed" at Borders McKinney Avenue.
