HOT book news

I read with Rachel Shukert at KGB a little while ago and she stole the show! Congratulations, Rachel.

Playwright and performer Rachel Shukert's HAVE YOU NO SHAME?, a collection of humorous autobiographical essays about the awkwardness of growing up a misplaced Jewish girl in the midwest and then, having found a flair for the dramatic and rising to the highest echelon of community theater stardom, coming starry-eyed to New York City only to shamefully discover that her new friends' favorite comedic movie, the mockumentary "Waiting for Guffman," is a rather earnest depiction of her life back in Omaha, to Adam Korn at Villard, by Rebecca Friedman at Sterling Lord Literistic.
