Friday, Jul 20, 6:00PM–11:00PM
The Ludington Building
1104 South Wabash Avenue

The Printers’ Ball is coming back to the future! Join thousands of readers, writers, and artists from around the planet for the greatest literary party in the galaxy—a one-night supernova of books, magazines, and otherworldly ink on paper, distributed freely; live music, readings, and other performances; letterpress, papermaking, and bookbinding demonstrations; plus even more. Free and open to everyone! Baffler associate editor Eugenia Williamson—who helped plan the very first Printers’ Ball seven very long years ago—will be on hand to man the Baffler booth and to judge Ayn Rand: The Game Show, from 7:00 until 7:30pm. This literary quiz show, hosted by Chris Braiotta and Katie McCarthy of the Union Square Round Table, and will pit Amber Tamblyn against Roxane Gay. The game is set in the near future, where libertarian nonsense reigns supreme across the whole world and all literature has been rewritten to match the philosophies outlined by Ayn Rand. She’ll be on hand, too, to crown the winners and say mean things about people who are stupid enough to get diseases.
