SUNKEN SUNDAY 014 with Ben Schott
November 16, 2025
The Arcane Knowledge of Ben Schott, author of Schott’s Significa: A Miscellany of Secret Languages The Sunken Harbor Club is thrilled to present a conversation with a truly unique figure in the world of literature: Ben Schott, author of Schott’s Significa and many other books. His first book, Schott's Original Miscellany (2001), became an international bestseller, spawning numerous sequels and establishing a distinctive genre of reference books. His new book investigates the secret vocabularies used by some of the world’s most fascinating societies: Venetian gondoliers, graffiti artists, stunt performers, auctioneers, and more. You’ll learn the difference between a gimp and a cat’s arse (Saville Row tailors), when to chipmunk (competitive eaters), and when to indulge in hopium (crypto bros). We guarantee a weird and wonderful conversation, hosted by SHC’s own St. John Frizell. Your ticket includes a menu of four small cocktails, inspired by Ben’s work. Signed copies of Schott’s Significa and other books will be available for sale by Greenlight Books!
