@edinburghup.bsky.social Strange Intimacies copies have arrived at the only desk, and in the only garden that I still return to after writing it! Now out in the world, and the cover lightens up November gloom. Might be of interest to @moderniststudies.bsky.social and @modernistudies.bsky.social ppl

For those based in NY or nearby, I'm doing a small launch of Strange Intimacies – Affect, Embodiment and Materiality in Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys (upcoming next month by @edinburghup.bsky.social) at Fordham Uni! I'll read a bit from the book, and Prof Anne Fernald will be in conversation with me

a belated #modwrite announcement: my first academic book should be out with the Edinburgh UP in October. On its cover is Alexandra Hughes's stunning art. More on what’s between the covers soon, but for now, enjoy Alex’s stunning work, and see more here: alexandrahughes.co.uk

This #modwrite, I'd like to invite those near Ghent University to a one-day workshop 'Women in East European and Baltic Literature and Culture: Subversive Reading and Identity Challenges' on 14 May 2025. Detailed programme in the comments (includes my first ever keynote on modernism's locations!)

This #modwrite I'm recovering from a flu (had a strange intimacy with a virus) and am also patching up the typescript of my book to be, on strange intimacies, in Woolf and Rhys though, not in viruses
