But many contemporary writers are pushing back, challenging who gets to be called an author and what counts as a book worth studying.Drawing on writers like Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector—who promises to speak “without literature”—and Chilean novelist Alejandro Zambra—who claims that “to make literature, it is necessary to not make literature”—Dr. Makowski will explore how traditional ideas of Literature are entangled with power and exclusion. Then we’ll turn to “anti-literature”: experimental, fraudulent, plagiarized, half-written, and discarded novels that point toward more honest, accessible, and life-like ways of writing.Dr. Makowski’s work has appeared in The New Republic, Public Books, Hyperallergic, World Literature Today, and The Chicago Tribune. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he has taught courses on contemporary writing and Shakespeare.Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌Agenda6:30 PM – Doors open: find a seat (open seating!), order food & drinks, and expect a bar line—arriving early is key.6:55 PM – Host introduction7:00 PM – Lecture begins7:45 PM – Audience Q&A8:00 PM – Have 1:1 time with the speaker, mingle with fellow guests, and order another round8:30 PM – Wrap up. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/lectures-on-tap-fraudulent-plagiarized-and-revolutionary-literature/100001997873915663 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: River North - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: River North - **lat**: 41.8929153 - **long**: -87.63591249999999 - **full address**: River North, River North, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/97abc3181057f7057d41fc31836ec31ebcfd10a9228376876fcd4b3cc4fa90e7-rimg-w1200-h675-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1787634969 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature" being held? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature" takes place on Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 23 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at River North, River North, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature"? - **A:** Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature" is organized by Felecia For The Win. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Lectures on Tap - "Fraudulent, Plagiarized, and Revolutionary Literature"", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/97abc3181057f7057d41fc31836ec31ebcfd10a9228376876fcd4b3cc4fa90e7-rimg-w1200-h675-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1787634969", "startDate": "2026-09-23T18:30:00-05:00", "endDate": "2026-09-23T20:30:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/lectures-on-tap-fraudulent-plagiarized-and-revolutionary-literature/100001997873915663", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "River North", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "River North", "postalCode": "60654", "addressLocality": "Chicago", "addressRegion": "IL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.8929153", "longitude": "-87.63591249999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Professors, experts, and storytellers giving thought-provoking lectures in Chicago bars.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-25", "availabilityEnds": "2026-09-23T20:30:00-05:00", "validFrom": "2026-08-25", "lowPrice": "39.19", "highPrice": "39.19", "price": "39.19", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/lectures-on-tap-fraudulent-plagiarized-and-revolutionary-literature/100001997873915663" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-08-25", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-08-25", "url": "https://allevents.in/chicago/lectures-on-tap-fraudulent-plagiarized-and-revolutionary-literature/100001997873915663", "price": "39.19", "name": "Admission Ticket" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Felecia For The Win", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/felecia-for-the-win/24277484", "description": "Felecia is a software engineer, content creator, and host with over 700k followers across her social media platforms.
