Mary Karr Event
By John Hugo, May 5, 01:39 PM
I attended and provided books for Mary Karr’s Event last night at Phillips Academy and she was wonderful! One of the funniest authors I have heard or met before. I think she really could do stand-up comedy. I was only dismayed by her suggestion to buy her books online — when will authors learn that they need bookstores first and foremost? — it’s a nice luxury once you have best-selling novels to send ’em all online — but the independent booksellers put her on the map – not a website. Oh well…the battle continues! -JMH
