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.

Mary-Howell Martens, New York organic family farmer

Lisa HamiltonVernon KlinkenborgFred KirschenmannMary-Howell MartensOver the past decade, our relationship to food and how it’s grown has transformed. But what about our relationship to the people who grow it? There is hope in the legions of new, young, and urban farmers cropping up around the United States, and yet overall, our country’s agricultural community is shrinking by the day. How is the role of farmers in our society and in our lives shifting? And what still needs to change? Moderator Lisa M. Hamilton, author of Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness, will be joined by three panelists: organic pioneer Fred Kisrchenmann, a Distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University; the New York Times’ Verlyn Klinkenborg, author of The Rural Life; and New York farmer Mary-Howell Martens.
