Sponsored by The Baltimore Bibliophiles On Thursday, March 19, we are once again privileged to welcome Reid Byers, who will regale us with Collecting the Imaginary and the 1840 Fortsas Affair (literary hoax). The Fortsas affair was a literary hoax par excellence! Join us at 7:00 pm EST and travel back in time to Binche, Belgium in 1840 – and learn how it all began – and ended.
