"Whether or not you sell your soul to Satan or to "Whether or not you sell your soul to Satan or to God, you’ve still sold your soul. The numinous realm, the astral plane, the transcendent dimension—the sacred—is a terrifying kingdom, defined by its difference from everything that is safe and familiar and human.” -Ed Simon, "Devil's Contract"

Ed Simon, the acclaimed scholar behind "Devil’s Contract," takes us deep into the history of the Faustian bargain, from biblical temptation to modern life’s everyday compromises, when he joins us next Wednesday, Feb. 4, for one of our Made Local events at Carnegie Library Lecture Hall. A thought-provoking night for readers, thinkers, and anyone who’s ever wondered what it really means to make a deal. #EdSimon #DevilsContract #FaustianBargain #PittsburghArtsandLectures #MadeLocal #History #Philosophy #BookLovers #PGHReads
