CONSERVATIVES CONFABULATE

Combating conservative malaise at the end of the Bush era, David Frum offers a sprightly retort in “Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again.” A former speechwriter for President Bush, Frum funneled his disillusionment into the book and his outline for a freshly reprioritized GOP. Aloud at Central Library presents Frum in conversation with Arianna Huffington, editor in chief of the Huffington Post. 7 p.m. Wed. Central Library. 213-228-7025; www.aloudla.org
