A.L. Kennedy

author of What Becomes

What Becomes

Don't miss out on this special Labor Day surprise. The internationally revered Kennedy shares with us her comedic repertoire. “Her stand-up is startlingly good. She works the audience and makes the most of her cleverness with words, her knack for seeing things freshly. She has a great riff about people scraping moss off each other every morning in Scotland, but the audience seems most to enjoy the material about pubic hair." - The Guardian

She's assertive, well-timed, and she will be at McNally Jackson Books for one night only.

News of Note
Staff Picks
I Was a Rat
Written by David   

By Philip Pullman (Yearling, $6.50)

ImageThere are only two children's book authors that I've continued to read as an adult, and one of them is Phillip Pullman. He writes the kind of books that I wish I could write (if I wrote, that is). If you've only ever read The Golden Compass and the rest of his His Dark Materials trilogy, try this. There's not as much to sink your teeth into here, but it's no less satisfying.

 
Hard-Boiled Wonderland
Written by Adjua   

By Haruki Murakami (Vintage, $15.00)

ImageAn addictively disorienting puzzle. A world you'll want company in. What Murakami did here is so cool you'll want to tell everyone about it, and it's so weird they'll have to read it themselves to know what you mean.

 
King Lear
Written by Adjua   

By William Shakespeare (Yale, $6.95)

ImageOf all the European literature I was exposed to in school, this is the one I'm most thankful for. This is the one that pointed me toward the beauty of chaos and the exquisite fury of the natural world. This is the one most worth the fight for comprehension--the first whose esteemed place in the canon seemed deserved. This is the one that elevated my critical faculties--the one that inspired one of the best essays I've ever written. The one that lives with me. The one I love.
