Since I write neither like a woman nor like I work for Paper Magazine, I figure I will just let the press release roll on this one... "The energetic and exceptionally amusing author Jenny Pollack will read excerpts from her debut novel, KLEPTO, the essentially true and only occasionally fictionalized novel about the author and her best friend’s felonious quest for fashion in 1980s New York. It’s a virtual tour of the city’s hottest shopping destinations for the teenaged Pollack with clothing stores like Bloomie’s, Sak’s, Canal Jeans and Betsey Johnson providing the source for designer jeans, vintage bowling shirts and fishnet stockings as well as the backdrop for a short, yet guilt-ridden crime spree."
