A Conversation with Augustus Rose


Sunday, February 04, 2018, 2:00 – 4:00 PM.

Join author Augustus Rose for a discussion of his obsessions: cults, subcultures, urban exploration, speculative science, metaphysics, alchemy, conspiracy theories, underground art movements, and the artist Marcel Duchamp, all subjects at the center of his debut novel, The Readymade Thief.

Hailed by NPR and Oprah as a book you don’t want to miss, The Readymade Thief is a thrilling, unexpected, uncategorizable, and addictive novel.

Copies of The Readymade Thief will be available for purchase and signing. Come for coffee, cookies, and conversation.

In connection with the visit from Augustus Rose, we’ve programed a series of events related to subjects explored in The Readymade Thief.

Urban Exploration

Sunday, January 28, 2:00–3:00 PM

What’s in that abandoned building? What’s behind that broken wall? Why has this place been left to slowly rot? These are the questions urban explorers are trying to answer. To prepare for our visit with The Readymade Thief author Augustus Rose, Chicago historian Adam Selzer paints an overview of urban exploration in the city of Chicago.
