Creative Writing
Augustus Rose is a fiction writer interested in the hidden and unmapped areas of American culture and cities. His novel The Readymade Thief (Viking/Penguin 2017) explores a shadowy world of urban exploration, the dark net, consciousness-obliterating psychedelics, the art of Marcel Duchamp, and the shotgun marriage of alchemy and string theory. Rose is Assistant Professor of Practice in the Arts in the Creative Writing Program in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago.
