"Novels of politics foreground tactical questions that fail to be representative; they look at strategies that can’t or shouldn’t stand in the societies they hope to create." Brilliant article from @MichaelaWriting 🙌🏾 Eager to dive into this whole issue! bit.ly/3EvXls9

I'm so sorry to hear this. And so grateful to Mark — grateful both for his personal generosity to me (he and Kevin Dettmar were amazing editors for my book), and for all his labor for modernist studies, as a thinker, mentor, editor, and institution-builder. He is already missed.

I wrote about why critics avoid looking at political novels when talking about politics and the novel, in that giant new issue of @AmLitHist, brilliantly edited by @rgreenwaldsmith and Gordon Hutner. Check it out, along with all the other fabulous essays: academic.oup.com/alh/issue/3…

Whether you make it to San Francisco for #MLA23 or not, come to a Saturday afternoon virtual panel on contemporary narratives that use embedded artwork to think about the future! Organized by @carallewis; I'll be talking about the film Queen & Slim (2019). #MLA2023

BEING PLAGIARIZED: receipts edition I’ve been vague-tweeting about this for a while, but now that everyone involved has had the chance to do right and one of them (weirdly, not the plagiarizer) has simply decided not to… I guess it’s time to name names. (1/?)
