Of prophecy in Ursula K. Le Guin’s THE LEFT HAND OF DARKNESS: “the gift is perhaps not strictly or simply one of foretelling, but is rather the power of seeing (if only for a flash) everything at once: seeing whole.”

Dear Homer, I evaluate standout voices across literary genres, and the unique premise you’ve built in the Iliad caught my attention. The handling of historical fantasy, rich world-building, and high-stakes action through Achilles and Helen creates a resonance that is provocative and deeply engaging

I don't care if it's a billion pages and the hardest of backs. Charging $40 for a 1000-page novel is a bit too much in my opinion.

Call me a cynic but sometimes I think it's sad that ideas that are basic, graspable, and rather incontrovertible only get traction when there's a book doing big numbers attached to them. It's great that the book exists and discusses The Idea™️, but it can't simply be a matter of identification.

A while back I read a "hyperpolitics" essay that I assume the book is an extension of, and I still have to read the book itself (though whether I do depends on limited time etc), but I am still not convinced about the hyperpolitics thesis. Also, that Guardian article wasn't great.

As a result, it's hard to know what "hyperpolitics" really means. You have to chase it down. Of course, that makes it hard to argue against because the author can just say "you haven't understood it". E.g. here's the thesis statement, which does not define hyperpolitics at all.

This essay ventures a tentative definition, through the lens of what I term "hyperpolitics." The concept is meant to make sense of what comes after the mass politics of the short twentieth century (1914-1989), the postpolitics of the "very long" 1990s (1989-2008), and the antipolitics of the 2010s. Attention will also be given to a range of adjacent political forms, from populism to technocracy to millennial socialism. None of these morphologies is exhaustive of the period in which it arose-periodization is rarely so neat-while a vast corpus of empirical studies could be marshaled to evaluate each. Only a small selection will be discussed here. Hyperpolitics denotes a tendency rather than a totalizing style. Nevertheless, this book argues that it constitutes a gravitational pole in the force field of twenty-first century poli-tics. As such, it is indispensable for understanding the dynamics of mobilization and contestation that determine the contemporary scene. But these can only be grasped when situated in a longer history, linking past and present in an effort of patient distantiation.

Actually love to see a royalty statement with the money the (nonprofit, university) press gets. Makes me think I can somehow contribute and pay back. Also, it's *very* nice to get a royalty statement (we sold some books!)

Friends remind other friends that when you post a call and people apply, the minimum requirement is you notify those who didn't get selected. Second time this week I hear from someone who applied for a position (not an academic job, which is *really* bad for this) and never heard back.
