So very pleased to say that my article "Kazuo Ishiguro's Nonactors" is out with @novelforum. Thanks to @TBewes and co-contributors for what I honestly think is an excellent issue

[Duke University Press @DukePress]

In "The Anagonist," a new @novelforum issue edited by @TBewes, contributors propose a new type of hero: the anagonist, who generally does not act, or if they do, the action is inconsequential to the work. Pick up a copy for only $7.50 with code FALL2020! https://t.co/Amf8pLWuao

This exhibition is the result of team work and I am very happy (and privileged) to have worked with @LiseRButler and @OrRosenboim on the research that underpins it as well as with Renee Melton-Klein, Connie Evans, and Chris Griffiths on the curatorial side of things.

Couldn’t be prouder of my PhD student @rowe__irvin for landing her first book deal! Of course I already knew she was a brilliant writer and critic 😉

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…

I read this in English and thought it was excellent. Would happily read it in Greek too!
