If you’re an academic who wants to write for a popular audience, you need to be able to explain what your book is about and why it matters in 3 sentences. I know this goes against all of your training. If you can’t or don’t want to do this, writing for “the public” is not right for you right now.

OTD in 1966, a promotional Batman pop concert was held in Shea Stadium, featuring Adam West from the TV show (who sang) and 26 go-go dancers (“Batusi Girls”). Groups like the Young Rascals and the Temptations were billed, but many didn't show. An estimated 3,000 fans were there.

Psssst - by the way: www.sup.org/sophie-germa...

ok, for folks like me who are both #FIFAWorldCup26 junkies, and old #litcrit heads, something in the US TV coverage just happened that is fun: they just showed a stadium graphic of Messi behind and with his hand on Maradonna's shoulder. La Carte Postale, anyone?

WOW. Just learned that @rutgersupress.bsky.social has acquired rights to Klaus Theweleit's massive Pocohantas project. Congrats - and please hurry on those translations!

We're sad to learn of the death of Renato Rosaldo, longtime member (and chair) of Stanford's anthropology department, and a tremendously influential figure both in the field and on campus. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/s... www.sup.org/books/asian-...

OTD in 1967, The Blues Project performed "Flute Thing" at the Monterey Pop Festival. The song was from the album Projections, produced by Tom Wilson. Andy Kulberg played his flute with a pickup through a Binson Echorec machine for a jazzy psychedelic effect. youtu.be/1oIE95Ro9Ms?...

Soviet Holocaust Literature

It has long been assumed that there was no Holocaust memory in the Soviet Union. Official Soviet ideology lumped the 3 million Soviet Jews exterminated by the Nazis…
