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.

This book may have been written as a loose allegory of fascist Spain, but I love it for being the best depiction of my dreams--good and bad--that I've ever had the questionable pleasure of reading. The book is a horror of sedimentary, implacable myth-logic, rageful nihilistic destruction and bees. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
