Thank you for this lovely note!
We’re hiring! As department chair I’m not on the search committee, but I’m happy to answer any questions about Duke English, Duke or Durham. Please circulate widely! english.duke.edu/18thcentury
So excited to be part of this, and looking forward to seeing all these amazing scholars in Durham next year—please spread the word and submit something!
Reading about Tim Walz while going through Minnesota on the train. Saw a bald eagle while we were crossing the Mississippi. Not saying it’s a sign, but maybe it’s a sign?
I am so interested in this topic! Has any of the book been published as articles?
And two more books I really enjoyed, both a bit more conventional than my top 3, but very much worth reading! The House of Doors, Tan Twan Eng Absolution, Alice McDermott
One good thing about 2023 was some great reading experiences. My top 3, none of them perfect but all really inventive and thought-provoking. Our Share of Night, Mariana Enriquez The World and All That It Holds, Aleksandar Hemon Biography of X, Catherine Lacey
Beautiful jacket proof for our forthcoming paperback 'Cultures of London', which 'expresses and celebrates the plurality of the capital’s cultures and affirms the importance of migration in the making of the modern city'. Grab an advance copy here: bit.ly/3CWZjAz Pub. Jan 2024
