Lastly, my article on Stephen Sondheim's love affair with puzzles, cryptics, and mysteries was published in Critical Quarterly today; I may be firmly in the University Challenge camp, but I think the #OnlyConnect crowd may get a kick out of this: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Maybe just slightly more important is the fact that I've submitted the ultimate, once-and-for-all, no going back version of my thesis. Now all that's left is to wear a silly outfit, listen to a bit of Latin, and I'll be a doctor!
