Excited to share that my book, Notes on the Novella, is under contract with Princeton UP. It's made up of thirty "notes" on thirty different novellas. Boccaccio, Cervantes, de Zayas, Eliot, James, Larsen, Fuentes, Pynchon, Delany, Spark, Lispector, Morrison, Ferrante -- and more!

@pourfairelevide I will! I've been hanging out in Barker 128 all week.

[Brian K. Goodman @BrianKGoodman]

I wrote a slightly unhinged essay review for @AmLitHist on DeLillo’s walls, Albanian bunkers, seed vaults, Cold War nostalgia, Tom Clancy, Philip K. Dick, Fredric Jameson, and the half-life of all cultural forms.

Read “After Cold War Studies” here: https://t.co/GLtlwmhaAu

@verizon emailed me to say they sent me new equipment at no additional cost and after I contacted them to ask why I hadn't received it yet, they informed me that actually, they didn't send it and I needed to pay an additional 30 dollars a month.

I thought I'd look at the original messages in my gmail account from 2004 and found a document where I was keeping track of all the books I read by date and apparently, I finished Blood Meridian the day before I finished Crime and Punishment. What a phase.

@LKonstan titles also have some great/horrible puns

[Angela S. Allan @AllanNotAllen]

I read zillions of Perry Mason novels (the source of my profile pic) and wrote about Erle Stanley Gardner, Cold War ideals of justice, and the War on Crime in the latest issue of Arizona Quarterly: https://t.co/AuvtZfVrXS

@seeshespeak @ASAP_artsNOW Having it in two totally different parts of the city made it exceptionally hard. I wanted to see more people but everyone was staying in different boroughs.

@RezekJoe declare that Dunks is better than both Wawa and Sheetz and allow everyone to unite against you

@dennismhogan Not exactly literary or environmental per se, but as nonfiction goes if you are looking for a historical primary (can't imagine why, of course), Jane Jacobs has a chapter on parks in Death and Life of Great American Cities.
