How to Be a
Kickass Boss,
with Kim Scott
Management coach Kim Scott,
author of Radical Candor: Be a
Kickass Boss Without Losing Your
Humanity (St. Martins, Mar.),
first came up with the idea of
radical candor 16 years ago Kim Scott
while running Juice Software in New York City. Two things
margaret rosser
U.S. is 50, she says. Thats truly young. The idea that grandmothers are little old ladies with permed gray hair who
spend all day in the kitchen making chocolate chip cookies is
long gone. A lot of grandmothers today have Ph.D.s and
M.B.A.s and are still working. The book is also about the
relationship between mothers and grandmothers. I hope a lot
of young women read it to understand their mothers better,
Stahl adds.
Patchett is not only an accomplished author but also one of the
most respected indie booksellers in the business. Late last spring,
her store doubled in size, to 2,500 sq. ft., when a neighboring
store closed. Initially Patchett had no interest in annexing the space,
but middle grade author Maile Meloy (the Apothecary series), who
was visiting Parnassus at the time, urged her to go with the
timing you get.
The expansion has allowed the store to do more face-out
books and stock more copies of titles, Patchett says, as well as
hold larger events in-store, like a recent one with Colson
Whitehead for The Underground Railroad. Instead of having
one copy of The Great Gatsby we have four, she says. We were
always running out of stuff and not having a book that we
should have had in the store. Other personal favorites that
Patchett likes to have on hand include Moss Harts Act One,
Patti Smiths Just Kids, Jane Gardams Old Filth, and Some

BOOKSELLING IN
THE TWIN CITIES
Bookstore diversity and literary culture combine for a vibrant book market
hen it comes to bookstores, Minneapolis and
Saint Pauls 3.5 million residents are well
served. Of the American Booksellers
Associations 65 Minnesota members, 37, or
more than half, are located in the Twin Cities
metro area, which is also home to 13 Barnes
& Noble outlets, including one of the retailers new concept
stores, and seven Half Price Books locations.
Booksellers attribute the vibrance of the areas indie scene to
much more than a national trend that has seen the channel
become revitalized in recent years. Booksellers see local indies
vitality rather as an outgrowth of the areas long-held tradition
of philanthropy and civic engagement. Together with the states
96% adult literacy rateamong the highest in the nationthe
Twin Cities has created a culture in which government, foundations, and citizens dont just value books and reading. They also
support literary nonprofit organizations with their dollars.
Theres just a lot happening here that brings attention to
books and authors. Were fortunate to live in a community where
literacy is a priority, says Holly Weinkauf, owner of Saint Pauls
32-year-old Red Balloon Bookshop. At the 2016 Minnesota
Book Awards gala, the bookstore sold $10,000 worth of books.
There are all these organizations being successful promoting
books, literacy, and reading. All that together makes for a healthy
book community, says David Enyeart, events manager of Saint
Pauls Common Good Books, which Garrison Keillor opened in
2006. Since moving five years ago from an 1,800-sq.-ft. basement on affluent Cathedral Hill into a 3,000-sq.-ft. storefront
across the street from Macalester College, sales at Common Good
have risen a total of 20%. The bookstore recently sold $13,000
worth of books at the Opus & Olives annual library fund-raiser,
plus another $13,000 in presales. There are a lot of people here
who understand what books will do for them, the importance in
their lives. It helps us sell them books, Enyeart says.
The Twin Cities vibrant literary culture attracts some of the
countrys biggest authors, and bookstore calendars are always
packed. Twenty-year-old Excelsior Bay Books in Excelsior,

Bookstore Diversity
Milkweed Books manager Hans Weyandt, who began his bookselling career at Saint Pauls now closed the Hungry Mind (later
known as Ruminator Books) and who was a co-owner of
Micawbers, says that the health of the local indie bookstore scene
can be attributed in large part to its diversity. Although uptown
Minneapolis boasts a large general bookstore, 18,000-sq.-ft. Magers
and Quinn, which stocks 120,000 new and used titles, the area
also contains a number of smaller specialized bookstores.
Small bookstores fill underserved niches. Among these bookstores is one founded by bestselling author Louise Erdrich that
Weyandt describes as truly singular. Founded more than 15
years ago, Birchbark Books & Native Arts is an 800-sq.-ft.
general bookstore that features an outsize collection of literature
by Native American authors for both children and adults, published in English as well as in Native languages.
On the other side of a chain of lakes from Birchbark, another
800-sq.-ft. store, Once Upon a Crime, has specialized in mysteries for three decades. It was purchased by Dennis Abraham
and Meg King-Abraham on April 1 last year, the bookstores
29th anniversary.
In Saint Paul, Hmong ABC, which bills itself as the first and
only Hmong bookstore in the world, has operated for more than
two decades. And Daybreak Press Global Bookshop, which
specializes in books from around the world on faith, social justice, and feminism, has moved across the river to the University
of Minnesota area a year after launching in Saint Paul in 2014.
Not only are Saint Paulites still crossing the river to visit the
store, but owner Tamara Gray reports that heavier foot traffic at
the new location is pushing up sales.
One of the few remaining black bookstores in the country,
Ancestry Books specializes in literature by and about indigenous
peoples and people of color. The bookstore closed in August
2015 after a little over a year in business. But founder Chaun
Webster reopened it last winter as a recurring weekend pop-up
outlet at Juxtaposition Arts, a local arts organization.
With so many different types of bookstores catering to
readers, Moon Palaces Schwesnedl says that the metro areas
indie scene has reached a critical mass, which means that
physical bookstores should continue to do well. Minnesotans
are cranky and independent, Schwesnedl adds. Theyll shop
at a local store over Amazon any day. Theres a reason that the
Twin Cities never make it onto Amazons annual list of the 20
