Here for this kind of Valentine’s flowers ❤️
I contributed to a forum on Joe Cleary's Modernism, Empire, World Literature, and it allowed me to write about Jamaica Kincaid finally. Thank you @sherimariephd.bsky.social for helping me think it through. It's open access:

I went to a virtual book club for The Book of Night Women last night, hosted by a J’can influencer living in T’dad & Marlon James the author & later Marlon James the photographer & painter *both* got on the call, surprising host & all. The casual yet joyful mischief of it all is where it’s at.

When admin work has me out of these classroom streets, I appreciate Matt for sharing my words with his students ❤️.
In the first week we also close-read "This Is America" together, then read & discussed @sherimariephd.bsky.social's "New Black Gothic," & listened to the first half-hour of our podcast together as introduction to "Lovecraft." I'm so stoked about this class.

Part 2 of World Literature podcast on Percival Everett’s James. In this one I bring out my trademark, “What if the point of this novel is straightforward?” move.

But also: @sherimariephd.bsky.social, @keeblearin.bsky.social, and @mattseybold.bsky.social saying good stuff!
