Tuesday, May 13, 6:30 PM
Read and discuss The Art Thief, Michael Finkel during May's meeting. This is the wild story of Stéphane Breitwieser, a man who stole over 200 priceless works of art—without ever planning to sell a single one. He just wanted to keep them for himself. With a mix of suspense and insight, Finkel explores what drives someone to commit such bold crimes, and what happens when obsession with beauty goes too far. It's a fascinating look at art, crime, and the cost of wanting something so badly that you'll risk everything to have it.
 
May's meeting starts at 6:30PM. No registration required for this event.
