On Saturday, February 24 at 4pm at Lump Gallery, Los Angeles- based artist Jesse Hulcher will read from his novel Drive It Like You Stole It, and sign purchased copies, available at Lump and on our web store. It's a rare occasion to hear this incredibly funny book read aloud. The book tells the story of two friends and their escapades on the road. Written more as a conceptual art piece, the novel was written during National Novel Writing Month in 2009.
