In an exchange with @SydReviewBooks, @KateRossmanith considers the writer’s impulse (or pressure) to insert themselves into the text.
She argues that many of the problems stem from how we are primed to conceptualize human experience as “episodic.” https://t.co/m5KAuJygzf
My latest essay for Sydney Review of Books, this one for their series on 'commuting'. My piece is about the work of sentencing judges, decision-making, how they get from here to there - and about a whole lotta other stuff too. @SydReviewBooks https://t.co/uaoVmH9ekb
“The New Yorker voice is on top of the material under discussion. It is a voice of intelligent curiosity. The voice is smart-sounding.”
“It is effective for long-form journalism,” writes @KateRossmanith, “but it was not the book I was trying to write."

Thrilled to share the news that I have been awarded an ARC Future Fellowship! My project builds on the ground-breaking work of @BandesSusan, Jody Madeira, Nancy Berns and others, and looks at 'closure' in the justice system. #FT21#FutureFellows2021
New book review by @drbrianstout of 'Small Wrongs: How We Really Say Sorry in Love, Life and Law', a book by @KateRossmanith, exploring remorse in the criminal justice system and our everyday lives. Pls RT! https://t.co/FymiziejOf #nonfiction#Law#courts#probation
Totally thrilled to be presenting a public talk at the University of Strathclyde - along with the brilliant scholar @BandesSusan (a hero of mine!) - on remorse, judgment and forgiveness in the law. #smallwrongs@HardieGrant @mmccs_tweet https://t.co/AlZEKdHFqI
