Monday, September 6,
A.L. Kennedy
author of 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.

Author of Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming (Greystone Books, $15.00)
In conversation with Mark Crispin Miller.
 There can be fewer more shocking sins than the attempted cover-up, usually for personal gains, of the single greatest problem to face the human race, indeed the planet. Global warming is so readily apparent, and so urgent an issue that it takes a very special brand of loudly-cackling evil, or at least self-deceit, to continue to deny it. Nevertheless these people do exist and are characteristically very loud.
James Hoggan is president of a PR firm and chair of the David Suzuki Foundation. That is, he's an expert on public perception and environmental issues both. He'll be here to walk us through some of the tactics and motivations behind the lies about climate change, and in the process maybe give us a few tools to combat them.
He'll be speaking with Mark Crispin Miller, political scientist, professor and activist. |
