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.

News of Note
Love Begins in Winter Print
Written by Sarah   
Wednesday, 24 June 2009

by Simon Van Booy (Harper Perennial, $13.99)

Love Begins in WinterSimon Van Booy is an enchanter. His previous collection, The Secret Lives of People in Love, sold more swiftly off our fiction table than any other book has ever done. It seemed he had placed a spell on it: hundreds upon hundreds kept selling; we needed only put them out by the boxful, and people couldn't help themselves. I was likewise seduced, and upon reading it discovered that the stories themselves were enchanted. It was unclear how the sum of words could be so utterly affecting. If I was unable to finish a story in one sitting, I would find myself emotionally suspended, inhabiting the story yet, weeping accidentally as I went about my day, not for sorrow, but because parts of my heart that had never felt the light of day were suddenly on the surface. Van Booy's new book, Love Begins in Winter, is a more sophisticated collection, the stories are more involved, they do not simply strike tonic notes that you didn't know you'd been craving. But his magic is alive. These stories are fully realized, beautiful, humane, hopeful, wondrous, loving works. If Simon Van Booy could write a world, I might give up everything to go live in it.
