Did you notice all the copies of Maynard and Jennica in the window of Community Books? Author Rudy Delson lives around here. He’s a Food Coop member (HEY RUDY, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE DEBIT MACHINES AT THE COOP?) and a fabulous novelist, too.

I read the book last spring and LOVED it. A quick read, it’s smart, funny, insightful, deep and fun. Catherine at the Community Bookstore loved it, too. That’s why it’s spread across the front window over there (not far from Hepcat’s muggle photographs).

Rudy will be at Brooklyn Reading Works on September 20th at 8 p.m. It will be a festive reading and party at the Old Stone House that you won’t want to miss. This will be no ordinary reading. Friends and other writers will read selections from the book. There will be wine, food selected by Rudy, interesting people. Maybe even some balloons.

See you on the 20th. Maynard, Jennica and OTBKB together for the first time.
