Come help celebrate the publication of Tuesday, September 5
There will be tributes to Mr. Pollack and his lasting influence There will be cartoons There will be entertainment provided by Arthur Bradford, who plays a guitar while telling stories about men named Bill McQuill being run over by trains The other special guests will be doing things, too, but we have yet to figure out just what On hand will be copies of The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature. Also on hand will be posters of Neal Pollack, naked but wearing a cat. In addition, on hand will be T-shirts celebrating Neal and his tour. They will be black T-shirts, and will resemble in spirit and design those recording Judas Priest's first triumphant U.S. tour, c. 1973. After the reading, Neal will sign books and answer questions across the street, at Brookline Booksmith. Admission to the Coolidge will cost you $8. One half of this price can be applied to the purchase of The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature. Thus, when you pay your $8, Neal's book will cost you a mere $12. We think this is a deal of tremendous goodness. However: This $8 cannot be applied to the purchase of McSweeney's Issue #5, which, having arrived to Boston's shores on August 28, will also be on hand. Nor can the $8 be applied to the purchase of Neal Pollack posters or T-shirts, both of which provide evidence of Neal's very hairy torso. Thank you. See you there. Tickets can be reserved on the phone or e-mail, purchased in the store (Brookline Booksmith) or at the door of the Coolidge. Call (617) 566-6660 to reserve tickets or email events@brooklinebooksmith.com. Questioners should email Diane Vadino at diane@mcsweeneys.net. (Non-Bostonians: You are unfortunate, missing this event. But you may yet be able to attend a different stop on the Neal Pollack North American Tour 2000.)
