McNally Jackson Books Do you or someone you love have an amazing poetry manuscript just laying around, unpressed, unmilled? Consider, perhaps, submitting it to the Center for Book Arts' annual chapbook contest. Judged this year by the talented Terrance Hayes and Sharon Dolin. The deadline is next Tuesday, though, so if you have polishing to... do, do it in a hurry. I don't know how they feel about Thanksgiving-themed stains on the manuscript, but hopefully they'll be forgiving.

McNally Jackson Books Here's tonight's speaker, Frank Schaeffer, on HuffPo.
www.huffingtonpost.com
Why aren't parents who kill their children for God not serving life sentences? Because of our crazy ideas about religious freedom that on so many fronts trump not just common sense but the rule of law.
McNally Jackson Books Okay, so there's this guy, Frank Schaeffer, who in many ways helped start the modern Religious Right movement of evangelicals, but then had a change of heart, made a public break with them, and now speaks on TV (and in bookstores) about the failures of those extremists. He'll be in tonight speaking. His latest book is ...about finding a middle road between intolerances, both religious and atheist. Should be interesting.
McNally Jackson Books Tonight in our cafe, we host more experts on the health care debate than there are zeros in an insurance CEO's paycheck. Well, not really. The same amount of experts I guess. So, you know, many many experts.
McNally Jackson Books So, can I take it for granted that you'll all be here for our healthcare reform panel tonight?
McNally Jackson Books Joel Schalit, tonight's reader, is in a post-punk band called the Elders of Zion. That's brilliant.

The McNally Jackson Forum Series Presents
Inside the Healthcare Reform Debate
Featuring:
Shannon Brownlee, Ezra Klein, Trudy Lieberman, Julie Salamon, Dr. Lisa Sanders, Roger Weisberg
Moderated by Marco Roth
Are you tired of the healthcare reform issue yet? Good, so are insurance companies and drug manufacturers and anyone ...else who would rather see you – and the nation – suffer than risk spending a few more dollars. Here at McNally Jackson we're going to do what all concerned bodies (literally bodies – your very flesh is at stake) should do. We're going to belabor the point until some good comes out of it. Toward that end we'll be hosting another in our ongoing series of panel discussions, this time about the ins and outs of the health care system in our country today, including what we can do, what we should do, to change it.
Here to discuss the issue will be:
Ezra Klein, a blogger for the Washington Post and formerly The American Prospect. He was one of the first writers to blog from a political convention and noted as one of the “minds of the moment” by the Economist. He’s written for the LA Times, the New Republic, the Guardian, and Slate and he’s appeared on C-Span’s Washington Journal, CNN, The Rachel Maddow Show, Hardball with Chris Matthews, Charlie Rose and numerous NPR programs.
Dr. Lisa Sanders, an internist at Yale University School of Medicine. Her NYT Magazine column, Diagnosis, was the inspiration for the hit series House M.D. for which she is a consulting producer. Her latest book is Every Patient Tells A Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis.
Roger Weisberg, a documentary filmmaker whose 30 films have won over 100 awards including a Peabody, DuPont-Columbia and Emmy, as well as two Academy Award Nominations. His latest film is Critical Condition, a look at America's ill and uninsured.
Julie Salamon, an award winning writer for the Wall Street Journal and New York Times and author of the critically acclaimed The Devil’s Candy and Hospital a detailed look at healthcare through the lens of Maimonides medical center in Brooklyn.
Shannon Brownlee, a Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly and The Washington Post among others. She is the winner of the 2004 Association of Health Care Journalists Award for Excellence in Health Care journalism and the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting. Her recent book about health care Overtreated was named the best economics book of 2007 by the New York Times economic correspondent David Leonhardt.
Trudy Lieberman, director of health and medicine reporting at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, contributing editor and healthcare blogger at the Columbia Journalism Review and regular contributor to The Nation. She has been reporting on health care and consumer issues for over thirty years, and has won numerous honors and awards, including two National Magazine Awards, 10 National Press Club Awards and five Society of Professional Journalists Deadline Club Awards.
The discussion will be moderated by Marco Roth, journalist, editor and contributor to n+1 magazine.

Joel Schalit is a writer and editor based in Milan, Italy. He's the author of the critically-acclaimed Jerusalem Calling, and the editor of several collections including The Anti-Capitalism Reader. Schalit has also edited some of America's most influential independent magazines, including Punk Planet, Tikkun, and the l...egendary '90s e-zine, Bad Subjects. His writing has appeared in the Forward, the Guardian and XLR8R. Schalit currently comments on Mideast politics for French global news broadcaster France 24, and is the culture editor of the New York Jewish periodical, Zeek. A member of the post-rock duo Elders of Zion, he is presently working on the band's third album, Donkeys of the Earth.
In this latest book Schalit distinguishes between the Israel he knows, and the image of it that exists in the imagination of Americans. Israel, he argues, like few other nations on earth, continues to be shaped to an often surprising extent by perceptions of it, particularly those of Americans. Combining analysis with dispatches from the U.S. and the middle east, Joel turns his acute vision to our own, sometimes fuzzy, ideas of Israel, the state and the symbol. This Tuesday he'll be here to confirm, disabuse, and generally muddle our impressions in what is sure to be an interesting conversation.

McNally Jackson Books Gary Vaynerchuk, tonight's reader, tends to get all excited and blustery when he talks about better customer service and branding. My kind of people.
McNally Jackson Books Everybody, I've been watching you buy books today and I'd just like to say that you have incredibly good taste. You do me proud.
McNally Jackson Books Here's a bit of Gary Vaynerchuk essentially just summing up my entire job.

Gary Vaynerchuk's place to talk about his passions, hustle, wine and business
McNally Jackson Books Did you all know that Gary Vaynerchuk will be in our store on Monday? That's right, Gary Vaynerchuk the god of self-promotion, the one man whose powers to CRUSH IT! just may save you or your business from obscurity, (and yourselves) will be here in the flesh? I hope you know. If not, I've been doing a poor job of CRUSHING IT!
McNally Jackson Books Boy I seem to have a lot of Gregory Maguire's new book here. What will I do with them all? Oh. That's right. I AM GIVING THEM AWAY FOR FREE TONIGHT.

Here's another event you won't want to miss. This Thursday we have in Gregory Maguire, author of WICKED and SON OF A WITCH among other bestselling novels, to read from his latest book THE NEXT QUEEN OF HEAVEN. The novel itself is an amazing farcical romp, set in upstate New York. Ann Patchett calls it an “out-of-contro...l carnival ride” of a book, featuring a gay choir leader, an ancient order of nuns, one extremely dysfunctional Christmas pageant, and small town religion done with the wit that only Maguire could bring to it. Oh and one other thing; THE BOOK IS COMPLETELY FREE.
What? Free? Oh that's right my little rhetorical question, free! The Next Queen of Heaven is published by the Concord Free Press. The press, founded in 2008 by Stona Fitch, operates entirely on donations. They publish two books a year and give them away entirely free. The catch, and it's a big one with a book this good, is that they ask that you give the book to someone else when you're done reading it. In this way they promote literacy and giving in general, but the love of good books more specifically. It's a fantastic project, and one we're delighted to play a part in.
We have limited copies of the book – once again, it's entirely free – so come early to get your book and a seat, and join us for a celebration of laughter and giving.
