JONATHAN MESSINGER
Hiding Out
TUESDAY OCTOBER 16 @ 7pm
Join us for Jonathan Messinger's debut novel from Featherproof press.
Nothing is as it seems: A jilted lover dons robot armor to win back the
heart of an ex-girlfriend; an angel loots the home of a single father; a
teenager finds the key to everlasting life in a video game. In this
much-anticipated debut, one of Chicago's most exciting young writers has
crafted playful and empathic tales of misguided lonely hearts. Sparkling
with humor and showcasing an array of styles, Hiding Out features characters
dodging consequences while trying desperately to connect.

CHIP SMITH
The Cost of Privilege
WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 24 @ 7pm
The Cost of Privilege tears through the matrix of ?race relations? to  
expose a power structure that has shaped all economic, political and  
cultural life in the United States, since colonial settler days.
The visible half of that system is the systematic oppression,  
super-exploitation and demonization of people of color by a white  
capitalist elite. But the system also requires regular white folks  
accepting it as normal and natural, even though they pay a terrible  
cost for it. This white acquiescence is based on the systematic  
awarding of white privileges, large and small, to everyday working  
people who sometimes cling desperately to "whiteness" and often don?t  
recognize the role their lives play in a much larger scheme.

CHOICE
