An Inside Look at the Retail Industry at the Scarsdale Library

Caitlin Kelly, the author of "Malled, My Unintentional Career in Retail" will appear at the Scarsdale Library on Tuesday, October 23rd at 7:30pm. Kelly’s new book was recently published in paperback and will also be published in China in March 2013. It's the story of the author’s two- plus years working for The North Face as a sales associate, and Kelly will be discussing the intimate, thorough and candid details of what it’s really like to work for $7 to 10/hour. "Malled" explains the global industry that Kelly was involved with in vivid and awe-inspiring detail – including accounts of factory workers committing suicide in China and Americans struggling to support large families, usually on part-time poverty-level wages with no benefits.

Caitlin Kelly’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Seventeen, Town & Country, Glamour, New York, and Sports Illustrated, among others.
