For only the second time in our fourteen years, InterCcECT hosts an event centered on the novel’s unique faculty for theorizing capitalism. The Payback is a comic critique of contemporary life, a red-hot indictment of offloading social maintenance costs onto individual students, and a rousing entry in the heist genre canon.
InterCcECT is extremely excited to welcome novelist Kashana Cauley to Chicago, courtesy of the UIC English Department and the UIC Institute for the Humanities, as well as Simon&Schuster. She’ll be in conversation with bona fide scholar of heists Anna Kornbluh, and fellow in The Debt Collective, Professor Jason Wozniak. We’ll read the novel alongside selections from Dr. Wozniak’s co-authored book Lend and Rule: Fighting the Shadow Financialization of Public Universities.
Join us Wednesday 29 October, 4pm, at the Institute, 1007 W Harrison Street (Blue Line: UIC).
Free copies of the novel are available to UIC students via the English Major Club. Signed copies will be for sale on site thanks to Madison St Books.

As always, InterCcECT is an open circle welcoming proposals for events. Miniseminar? Work-in-Progress? Field Trip? Book Tour in Chicago? Get in touch!
