Jewball, Former Chicagoan Neal Pollack's Newest Latest, Scheduled for October Release
Former Chicago Reader reporter and now LA-bestselling author of Alternadad and the much-hyped satirical Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature during the white-hot McSweeney's era, author Neal Pollack has a new book scheduled for release this October. Jewball, an experiment in Kindle-only release from Amazon.com, follows on the heels of a newly successful wave of e-reader-exclusive publishing, and promises belly laughs galore.
