As back-to-school fast approaches, excitement builds for one thing: the announcing of prestigious book awards.

And how will they transport those age-old art posters, likely affixed to the wall with sort of crumbling scotch tape? We have questions, but no answers. Rather like the Henry Darger doc now playing at the Camera.
