Science of Obscurity Proposals Due June 1
The Chicago Underground Library welcomes proposals for their second annual "Science of Obscurity" event: a science-themed book/literary project/zine/publication fair. Last year's festivities saw giant slugs, junk drawer personal effects, homemade cookies, awards, and much, much more.
Confused? Think of the fair as an opportunity to promote your own literary projects- new, unpublished, or works-in-progress- in 3D form. The Underground Library folks highly encourage dioramas, backboard displays, posters, and sixth grade chemistry sets to visually enhance your work's scientific significance.Table space is limited, so send a brief explanation of your display to info@underground-library.org by June 1.
Not to be missed is the literal "book launcher" trebuchet. Last year participants kicked their all-too-commonly-received rejection letters into the almighty heavens. This year, catapult your own anxiety-inducing text, be it your first novel, mind-numbing master's thesis, or notebook full of prosaic love sonnets.
Remember to keep July 10 open for the "Son of Science of Obscurity" at Jupiter Outpost, 1139 W. Fulton Market. RSVP on Facebook!
