Here's a review of the book from WORD manager Stephanie Anderson\:
"\;Mandel's new novel\, like LAST NIGHT IN MONTREAL\, is practically bashful about how clever and well-constructed it is. So let me tell you. It has a subtle grace\, marvelous characters\, and places that are just as alive as the people. And like MONTREAL\, there are many scenes and images from it that are still with me. I think I will never pass anglass-windowed office building without thinking about this book."\;

We are so excited to host Emily Gould's launch party for her new memoir. We'll celebrate with Pernod absinthe\, plus Perrier and probably some beer too! Mix and mingle with a beverage from 7-7\:30 and we'll get the reading started sometime shortly after that. Emily will read and then talk about the book with Matthew Perpetua of Fluxblog. And of course Emily will sign books\, and we'll all drink a little more - join us!

Blame Accountants set up impromptu “headquarters” in areas where there is a high frequency of collective blame--Ground Zero\, the Republican National Convention\, the Democratic National Convention and Wall Street. Sitting unassumingly at a desk with a typewriter and red phone\, Blame Accountants invite passersby to blame\, record\, and
reflect. Who has wronged you? What does it mean to take accountability for the actions—or inactions-of people\, groups\, and systems that have wronged you?
The Office of Blame Accountability\, a highly revealing and original look at the culture of finger pointing in America today. In the book\, chief Blame Accountants\, artists Carla Repice and Geoff Cunningham\, make public for the first time the forms filled out by Americans across the country. They provide an intimate look at the mindset of a country beleaguered by war\, the drama of national politics\, and the collapse of financial markets—as well as the more private and personal dilemmas that we each carry with us.
