A book
exists as more than just a vessel for the written word—it’s an artwork, a
collectable and, of course, a target for thieves. Join librarian Scott Walter and artist Matthew Girson, along with cultural
critic Rachel Shteir, author of The Steal: A Cultural History of Shoplifting,
as they discuss various personal and cultural ways of experiencing The Book
beyond reading. Sponsored by DePaul
University’s Department of English.
