Rich Cohen has a knack for illuminating all facets of a subject — whether he’s looking at the unsavory reality behind the legend of pirate Jean Lafitte or delving into the origins of NFL Films. And now, he’s turned his considerable talent to Monsters, a book on football, with a specific eye to the 1985 Chicago Bears. A team whose regular-season record was a stunning 15-1, and who also took the time to record the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Cohen will be in conversation with Jason Diamond at WORD (126 Franklin St., Brooklyn, NY) on November 19th, beginning at 7 PM. Facebook RSVP here.
