You’ve tagged the wrong person. I’m not the conservative political speechwriter and author of this book but an academic in literary studies critical of American politics and ideologies

University presses provide essential infrastructure for vetting & curating humanities & social science scholarship, which universities rely on not only for the scholarly endeavor but for the promotion & tenure process. When a university shutters a press, it abdicates that responsibility.

Do you still have to wait three more months for the publication of IMMEDIACY? Yes. Does the delay weaponize our impatience to reinforce the claims of the book? Maybe. Perhas this collection of six appearances by @annakornbluh.bsky.social on The American Vandal Podcast can be a temporary salve.

Very different direction but Stanley Cavell wrote about Poe (In Quest of the Ordinary, I think). Personally I prefer the more delightfully unhinged psychoanalytic readings you already mentioned
