Brannan Mentioned a Book Published in 1998 at the Speaker’s Forum
When people are asked, “What book did you last read?” at an interview or in this case, the NYC Speakers forum, they are asking to see if the person keeps current with the latest publications or trends.
A good answer to the question would be a current top seller or an inspiring autobiography. Some of the Councilmembers at the forum spoke about current books. Some checked the titles on their bookcase.
Justin Brannan talked about a book originally published in 1998.
That’s how you know Errol Louis’ questions were real and the politicians didn’t have them beforehand! (Sometimes politicians are given them by the people doing the debate/forum)
Louis wanted to show who was current and who wasn’t.
Brannan didn’t even realize he messed up on the question because he tweeted about it:
The version Brannan showed in his tweet was published in 2000.
Brannan got very little response from the tweet because it was an old book – probably from when he was in college.
