I share a birthday with James Joyce (and I quite like his books, too). Mostly a modernist. Also sensory studies, disability, and medhums.

I salute their gall, but there's a much better way.
My Bravest Friends Are Rawdogging Ulysses. It’s Tearing My Book Club Apart.
Some people dare to read it without supplementary materials. I would never!

For all those asking for more books for 12-14s, with 12-14 MCs, and for boys, I wrote this a while ago. It was Carnegie nominated and made into a TV series that won a BAFTA. Please buy it so it can finally earn out its minuscule advance. www.amazon.co.uk/Joe-All-Alon...

Well, this looks fab! Looking forward to reading it once it’s out.
We have a jacket for our forthcoming book 'Reading Literature and Chronic Pain' by Josie Billington! Analyzing the phenomenon of chronic pain, it shows the importance of the medical humanities in addressing questions that medical science alone cannot resolve. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/reading-l...

I stumbled across a mention this anthology recently and quickly ordered a copy. From 1943: The Heart of Europe, a collection of prose and poetry from 21 European countries, edited by Thomas Mann's son Klaus and novelist Hermann Kesten. Just look at the riches in this collection. 🧵

21. Bergson was at one point so famous that there were reports of people trying to steal locks of his (admittedly thinning) hair from his barber's, of people fighting in the corridors to try to get in and of people fainting because of the heat in the overcrowded lecture theatre

Haven't seen one yet so wanted to make a starter pack for modernist studies organisations (and related platforms) as more migrate to Bluesky. Do help us out by letting us know who to add & do share so we can get connected!

An intriguing footnote in Christa-Maria Lerm Hayes’s Joyce in Art (2004) led me to an artist called John Hart (1921-1996). The fab people at @CamdenArtCentre scanned me the catalogue for Hart’s 1975 exhibition, which begins: ‘I use Joyce as Joyce used Homer’ 😮

Today, I saw a cat amongst the pigeons.
And…
They were all just ignoring each other. No drama. All pretty chilled. The cat was sunbathing and the pigeons were just wandering about.

To others finding the current discussion of baby loss certificates triggering, I feel you.
I have *thoughts*. For now, please remember that a person’s choice to apply (or not) for a certificate is complex & personal; it’s not an indicator of how strongly they feel their loss.

It turns out that Edinburgh University Press really fancy my book. They love it so much they want to publish it!
(Now I just need to write the bloody thing. I am very much open to offers of research leave funding!)

Had the mother of all anxiety dreams. Found a house full of babies. Someone said: ‘Cleo, you’re going to have to breastfeed them’. I said: ‘I can’t. I’m pretty sure I’m not producing milk anymore. I don’t have the physical & mental capacity to feed them all’. They said: ‘You have to, or they’ll die’
