I went to see the Gin Blossoms last week and it was actually pretty great.

When the Amblin Entertainment logo swooped in over the Universal logo for Spielberg's alien movie, I immediately thought of you.

Excited to share that my book, Notes on the Novella, is under contract with Princeton UP. It's made up of thirty "notes" on thirty different novellas. Boccaccio, Cervantes, de Zayas, Eliot, James, Larsen, Fuentes, Pynchon, Delany, Spark, Lispector, Morrison, Ferrante -- and more!

I did and know/appreciated you mentioned self respect and professional dignity, but I think integrity is also a huge part of this. Anyone who does this is just in the wrong profession.

While I agree this is useful context, I think even if people are overworked and underpaid, the absolute lack of integrity means they have no business teaching others in any circumstance.

I read zillions of Perry Mason novels and wrote about Erle Stanley Gardner, Cold War ideas of justice, and the War on Crime in the latest issue of Arizona Quarterly: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

feeling pretty left out that no one has started the "academic twitter lurker" starter pack.

I wouldn't mind, but I still check twitter first for the drama. No fuzzy bunnies over here.

We just need to get The Discourse on here so there are more reasons to hate read.

Angela S. Allan @allannotallen.bsky.social · 30/08/2023

One thing to note: we interview and hire based on student interests/program needs, which are always changing, so even if you've applied in the past, please consider submitting an application.

gasp, after alpha by author, alphabetize by title and not do chronological?? I need to capture career arcs!

It's too soon to say if I like this site because there aren't tons of unhinged takes on here to get mad about, but I admit I still check the other site first because that's where the drama thrives.

When I go for an eye exam, I feel like I'm failing calculus all over again. "Can you read the second line?" Absolutely no clue, but I could probably guess incorrectly?

Because I have spent all afternoon writing, deleting, rewriting, and deleting a few sentences, I might as well commit to writing at least one sentence here.
