March 24, 2012 02:00PM

Madison St. , Forest Park, IL, The United States description: Andrew Vachss and fellow Chicago Wolf Pack member Michael Black return to discuss and sign their latest books, Thats How I Roll and The Incredible Adventures of Doc Atlas. AS ALWAYS, Mr. Vachss will sign only new books. There is a *reason* for this. See: vachss.com/sign. No one should "make a special trip" to this event under the misinformed impression that such books will be signed. Further, he'll only be signing books purchased at Centuries & Sleuths. |

| If you think "fiction" can't be the truth, or you have even a passing interest in the reality of Chicago for Post-War "juvenile delinquents," read this for the answer(s) to both. | |

“In my world, people are always plotting. You
have no idea of all the crimes people in business commit every
day. Like it was nothing. Or there’s a set of special rules for them.
Remember when Bush made that whole speech about ‘corporate
ethics’ last year? What a fraud. You think stuff like Enron or
WorldCom is an aberration? It’s only the tip. Business is a religion.
Probably the only one practiced all over the world.”
