A big - in fact, HUGE welcome to the inaugural “AGHI in Translation” text, produced by @deepvellum.bsky.social in partnership with the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute. Not feeling very celebratory on the whole these days, but I am one proud new Institute Director.

Sharing my book cover again because I love it and 99% of everything else is depressing.

Can’t not be excited about a COVER! An “if you know you know” kind of design, and otherwise, elegant suggestion. So grateful yet again to the talented team at @princetonupress.bsky.social.

From the launch of “Ethiopia Unbound: A Critical Edition in Cape Coast Saturday evening. Bringing this foundational, quirky, deeply admirable book back home to Ghana’s Central Region. Grateful to my co-editor Adwoa Opoku-Agyemang, dear friend Ato Quayson, and brother-in-law host Kweku Awotwi.

Big things are bad, but small things bring solace. With Stacy Hardy, Ashraf Jamal, and Ivan Vladislavic at Love Books in Joburg last night. “But all your friends just write books,” says my seven-year-old son. Yes indeed.

I’m not someone whose work often (or ever) has direct cultural relevance, but today it does, so here’s my first go at a thread. Have any of you been ogling Edward Enninful’s ensemble from the Met Gala last night? Its Regency elegance, and perfectly articulated details? (M notch, cravat, pleats?)
