About this event

Please join us on Friday, November 20th, at 7 pm, as M. T. Anderson discusses Stealing Saint Nick: A Legendary Corpse, a Notorious Theft, and the Stories that Shape the World. M. T. Anderson still believes in Santa Claus — just not in the way you think. Born of the research for Nicked, his acclaimed adult debut, Stealing Saint Nick is the story of the man who became Father Christmas — but only after surviving the Great Persecution, the fall of the Roman Empire, and the theft of his magically oozing bones (twice).
