Excited to share my new piece on Patricia Highsmith’s weirdly productive how-to writing manual, published today at New Literary History!

The English Department @lborouniversity.bsky.social recently welcomed 400 academics from around the globe to explore works of Weird Modernism, bringing together @modernistudies.bsky.social and @moderniststudies.bsky.social and led by our own Emily Bell, Jade French & @profsarahparker.bsky.social.

Picking up my life after four solid months of essentially living, sleeping and breathing this conference. I think I know how Harry Kane feels today (not something I ever thought I'd say...).

In "After the University," @chadwellmon.bsky.social traces the relationship between higher learning and the institutions that claim to protect it, asking whether universities can still nurture intellectual desire—or if we must find new homes for the life of the mind. https://tr.ee/M58FcD
