Work as an English professor in Chicago, interested in urban studies, Irish studies. In my mind I'm always still in Kilkenny. Mainly post about Deadwood and lefty political stuff, hurling and pictures of my dogs
Yeah actually that is what a good politician is supposed to do. I know Democrats in general think it's us that are supposed to fight for them but actually it's the other way round.

Hey me too. I know season 2 is the best one, but season 3 seems to speak to the moment a bit more right now. Watching Hearst break a hole in a wall to show he's in charge had a bit of an echo lately.

Was there a few years ago for mla and made a trip there, really great bookshop. Ended up picking up a China Mieville book I could probably have gotten at the airport, but it was a great way to spend an hour.

Originally the introduction to the collection did have a paragraph or two about WReC in the context of a discussion of systems theory and related approaches to literature but the book as a whole was getting too long and it has since ended up in the draft intro to my book on cities and scale!
