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.

by Scott Lynch (Bantam Spectra, $7.50)
Locke is an orphan, raised under a hill, made into a thief. This thief is taught the ways of the aristocracy, the ways of priests, the ways of merchants. He is taught to be the ultimate con man, so that he rubs elbows with dukes, dons, and even kings. He and his band, the games, the lessons, the rise, all right here in this original book set in an original world.
