"Why not write an unapologetic book about my absolute devotion to this dead woman, this perceived disaster?" @drnels interviews @EmilyVanDuyne about her book, "Loving Sylvia Plath: A Reclamation"

[Nels Highberg 🍉 @drnels]

My interview with @EmilyVanDuyne about her revolutionary book on Plath is up at @veryeager! It encapsulates and solidifies so much about Plath that seemed true but lacked evidence until Emily worked through the massive amount of new archival materials. Thanks, Emily, for so much!

Last summer, my wife (big brain) made me watch all of Vanderpump Rules so I could take a break from my academic writing and stop thinking for a second. I (also big brain) played reverse uno and instead enrolled her to think and write with me about Vanderpump Rules.

@ranjodhd this is extremely romantic <3

In honor of #PumpRules returning tonight, I wrote about what I think is the show’s narrative drive: domestic and romantic instability. #Scandoval showed how VPR is formally, narratively, and aesthetically built on domestic strife and precarious intimacies. Check it out!

[Avidly @veryeager]

This is a goal I do not understand yet support completely

@jshelat1 @veryeager @BravoTV @Andy will @Andy let us talk about being official bravo scholars on @BravoWWHL? only time will tell!

[Jay Shelat @jshelat1]

FRIENDS! @oliviastowell and I edited and contributed to a collection of essays about Vanderpump Rules for @veryeager! It was a dream to do. Our contributors are witty and smart. We’re here to prove that reality tv is a subject worthy of scholarly inquiry. @BravoTV and @Andy
