Reading Devin W. Daniel's essay on paranoia, race, and the State in 1970s US cinema is making me go "I *need* to add this to my syllabus somehow!"

It's finally here!! An article on trans faggotry, powerful and orientating queer affects, gender formations that don't or can't map neatly onto essentialist binary hierarchies, and the Lou Sullivan archive(s)... among other things.

Catching up on this recent piece in the Irish Times, I see that the New Yorker's editors are reading @post45.bsky.social
"It’s hard to imagine New Yorker fiction without the contributions of the many Irish writers who have been published in the magazine, but the first notable Irish story didn’t appear until 1945, two decades after the magazine’s founding. That was Frank O’Connor’s News for the Church, which is set chiefly in a confessional in Ballygrogan, Co Cork.

A couple of years earlier, as the scholar Ben Fried has noted, one of the magazine’s fiction editors, William Maxwell, rejected a story from a Tennessee-born writer with the somewhat rueful observation: “The story belongs to a world that is essentially remote from New York City. The editors have in their minds an imaginary map of Manhattan which includes, strangely, all of Connecticut and Long Island, Florida, New Jersey, Hollywood, and wherever New Yorkers go.”

Quote from Cressida Leyshon, deputy fiction editor of the New Yorker

Post45 keeps crushing it. Sara Kippur gets *into it*. I may be drawn to the chapter on the French avant-garde on US tv, but the work is sharp throughout. Your periodic reminder that I am now co-editing the Peer Reviewed side of our journal. Send us your best stuff. www.sup.org/books/litera...
