Program Description

Event Details

Meet New York Times bestselling author Jenny Jackson, who will discuss her novel Pineapple Street, a New York Times Bestseller, a Good Morning America Book Club Pick, and chosen as best book of the year by The New York Times, Time, NPR, USA Today, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, Vogue, BBC, Popsugar, Goodreads and theSkimm. Jackson will be in conversation with New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis.

Rife with the indulgent pleasures of life among New York’s one-percenters, Pineapple Street is a smart, escapist novel that sparkles with wit. Full of recognizable, loveable—if fallible—characters, it’s about the peculiar unknowability of someone else’s family, the miles between the haves and have-nots, and the insanity of first love, all wrapped in a story that is a sheer delight.

A reception will open the presentation; book sale and signing hosted by Elm Street Books will follow.

Registration required here; tickets are $20; $15 for Friends members.

Jenny Jackson is a Vice President and Executive Editor at Alfred A. Knopf. A graduate of Williams College and the Columbia Publishing Course, she lives in Brooklyn Heights with her family. Pineapple Street is her first novel.
