Our sixth interview is with Grant Snider, cartoonist (Wichita, USA) by David Selim Sayers (Paris, France) Tuesday, March 23, 2021 Welcome to Bookaholics. If there is one vice that all PICT faculty have in common, it’s our addiction to the written word. And while we crave the written word in all its forms, we have a special hunger for the book, perhaps the most enticing way in which words were ever put together. In this podcast, we will introduce you to some of our favorite books—recent books, relevant books, our own books of course, but also classic books that we just can’t seem to stop talking and teaching about. website: https://parisinstitute.org/ soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/parisinstitute instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisinstitute/ facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisinstitute.org/ twitter: https://twitter.com/ParisCritical linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/paris-institute-for-critical-thinking/
