I can't wait to read this!!
Nathan K. Hensley@nathankhensley.bsky.social · last wk.I finally have a physical copy of this astonishing book and cried reading the dedication & acknowledgements: what an immense accomplishment. I really do encourage everyone to find a way to read this— it’s unbelievably, inspiringly smart. Thank you, @nicolerizzuto.bsky.social, for writing it.

Today marks one year without Joshua Clover. The last thing he wrote to me, a few days before he died: "So here we are, late in history’s evening, biding our time in the shadows."

My book, Probable Exhaustion, posits that literary texts of the long 19th c help us trace how a conception of progress welded to infinite growth and development is unthinkable outside of the threat of exhaustion. Will be out with @cornellupress.bsky.social Jan 15, 2027
