Teaching Kafka’s ‘The Trial’ this week as part of my 1925 class, and you can probably guess how that feels… yikes.

Next semester I’m teaching a class all about literature & pop culture from 1925 (a 100 yr anniversary class). What kinds of secondary readings and history should I assign? What would be on your dream 1925 syllabus?

I’m rereading Bob O’Meally’s ‘Antagonist Cooperation’ for a paper I’m writing and forgot what a scathing indictment of Trump it includes! His argument in the intro for “radical inclusiveness” is 🔥
