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
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.
Exhibition Launch: "The Artefacts of Prediction: Imagining Tomorrow". *Manchester Museum, December 2, 2pm* Come and have a glass of wine (or something more sensible!) while exploring some super interesting artefacts we used to predict the future! Funded by the @BritishAcademy_
Exhibits include a rare copy of a board game designed by RAND Corporation employees, materials like uranium, tarot cards, as well as an original animated film by the brilliant @DanielaSherer , itself accompanied by an original score (also commissioned for this)!

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…
