The Speaker

Matthew Pearl joins us to discuss his book, The Last Bookaneer, released in paperback this year.
When we discuss pirated books today, the threat is most often digital. But pirated books existed long before the internet, when IP theft often required travel to foreign lands. “Literary pirates” ventured abroad to secure copies of the latest works, and they were known as bookaneers (from “privateers”). Copyright was not recognized across borders, and the thieves reproduced the most popular titles with impunity.
