Sam Lipsyte
Author of The Ask
Sam Lipsyte has always been a funny, engrossing writer, but with this latest novel the author of Home Land, Venus Drive and The Subject Steve is staking his claim as the city's singular source for mordant laughter.
The Ask is the story of Milo Burke, a more-or-less employed development officer at a small university whose further solvency depends on his wooing of one major, mysterious donor. The book discusses, with varying levels of terror, "work, war, sex, class, child rearing, romantic comedies, Benjamin Franklin, cooking shows on death row, and the eroticization of chicken wire."
Sam will be here to discuss the book with his celebrated editor at FSG, Lorin Stein.

Author of Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in New York City (Seven Footer Press)
Join Stuart Schuffman, aka Broke-Ass Stuart, as he leads a walking tour of McNally Jackson’s neighborhood, pointing out deals and highlights as he goes. Craving authentic French pastry but have only a few Euros in your pocket? Maybe you’re in the mood for Southeast Asian chicken and rice for less than $5? Stuart knows where to go. Ever seen a museum devoted to comics and cartoon art or a shop that only sells items the owner finds on her travels around the world? Stuart’s been there, done that, and he’s ready to let us all in on what he’s found. Meet at McNally Jackson at 7 to get in on the action, and after the walk join Stuart back at the bookstore for book signing and beer. |
