The Hamline Midway Library's Fireside Reading Series will host an event with Lorna Landvik, author of Best to Laugh, on Wednesday, February 11th at 7:00 PM.
Best to Laugh follows Lorna Landvik’s latest irresistible character, Candy Pekkala, from Minnesota to Hollywood as she pursues her dream of becoming a comedian. Herself a comic performer, Landvik taps her own adventurous past and writes in her classic style—sometimes so funny, you’ll cry; sometimes so sad, you might as well laugh; and always impossible to put down.
"While ripe with humor, the protagonist’s narration also serves up wisdom, nostalgia, and heart-wrenching life lessons."—City Pages
"Best to Laugh is cheerfully outlandish, filled with ambition, love, adventure, kindness, swimming pools, nightclubs, and baked goods. Best of all, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious."—Julie Schumacher, author of The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls and Dear Committee Members
