Join READ Books for a reading by writer and performer Jacob Wren and to celebrate the launch of his new book.

Authenticity is a Feeling: My Life in PME-ART is a compelling hybrid of history, memoir, and performance theory. It tells the story of the interdisciplinary performance group PME-ART and their ongoing endeavour to make a new kind of highly collaborative theatre dedicated to the fragile but essential act of “being yourself in a performance situation.”

Please visit READ Books from December 5-12 for our annual holiday reading sale!

READ Books features a wide selection of artists’ books, monographs, critical theory, exhibition catalogues, comics, and more. Treat yourself or a loved one to a new book!

The bookstore is located alongside Libby Leshgold Gallery at the new Emily Carr University of Art + Design campus.
