I meant to tag @taliaschaffer.bsky.social !

Congratulations, can't wait to read!!

3. I go to great pains in the introduction to say that I don't see the novel as some kind of edenic "refuge" for marginalized forms of being — although I do claim that in the hands of some authors it can serve to articulate more expansive ontologies by using the resources of fiction.

2. Parker focuses on a single moment where I conflate novel and epic in Lukács (in a moment where I too quickly rearticulate an earlier point) rather than looking at the original discussion of "paths of adequation" where I clearly indicate that Lukács is talking there about ancient epic.

A few key points to rebut: 1. I do not argue for a "logic of segregation" whereby queer, trans, and/or racialized people have a merely fictional existence. That is absurd! The point is to think about how reality (embodiment, lived experience) and fiction (social construction) overlap.

Hi, you seem to have tagged the wrong person!

Came here to say this! For whatever reason that description of the Santa Ana winds has stuck with me for decades!

The first season of the little known but pretty interesting horror anthology series Channel Zero!

Oh, and a plug for Alice Meynell’s amazing essay “The Rhythm of Life,” and Amy Levy’s incredible dramatic monologue “Xantippe”

Schreiner’s “Woman and Labour” would also be great
