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.

First Tuesdays: Sasha Abramsky

Tuesday, July 07 2009, 7:00pm - 8:00pm

First Tuesdays Series

Sasha Abramsky, author of Breadline USA: The Hidden Scandal of American Hunger (PoliPointPress)

This monthly series, hosted by author and activist Mark Crispin Miller, features authors whose books tackle political and public issues from a stance outside the mainstream. Trapped in the triangle of the housing market collapse, rising energy costs, and an increasingly dysfunctional health care system, America’s working poor are now battling an even more formidable enemy: hunger. Sasha Abramsky’s Breadline USA tells the stories of Americans in all types of communities who struggle to put food on the table come the end of the month when money runs out and the social safety net isn’t there to catch them.
