There will be some special appearances from some of the bookstores favorite writers, including Colson Whitehead, Joseph O’Neill, Sean Wilsey, and many others. In a carnivalesque switching of identities, these illustrious authors will be serving as bookstore staff: recommending books, serving food and drinks, and more. There will be live bluegrass music from The Strung-Out String Band, and complimentary bubbly for those over 21. And you’ll witness the unveiling of the new McNally Jackson logo throughout the store.
