Joseph M. Siry is professor of art history at Wesleyan University. He is the author of several books, including The Chicago Auditorium Building and the forthcoming Beth Sholom Synagogue, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
"Siry's book is not about a store per se. Rather, it is a vehicle for examining how one man's ideas at once expressed and informed defining aspects of material life in his immediate milieu and beyond.... Carson Pirie Scott transcends the confines of ordinary case studies to become a formidable work of cultural history." (Journal of American History)"
