NEW! For TVO @therundowntvo.bsky.social I look at the history of the Intercounty Baseball League, which has recently changed its name to the Canadian Baseball League.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif.

Thanks, Gabino! The book blends creative nonfiction about my Momโ€™s life and my grief at her death with an examination of the comic books of 1976. Itโ€™s experimental in form, asking the reader to make connections in the way one puts fragments together when reading comics.

"A wildly original, goosebump-inducing ride..."

"A unicorn of a book that can move anyone."

"...haunting premise and deeply human."

"...eye-popping climax and conclusion."

"The story ends. The feeling it conjures does not.๐Ÿ’”"

Whoa, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Thanks, Gabino! Here is a book that blends creative nonfiction about my Momโ€™s life and my grief at her death with an examination of the comic books of 1976. Itโ€™s experimental in form, asking the reader to make connections in the way one puts fragments together when reading comics.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

I just found out today that I am scheduled to teach a fourth-year seminar in the fall, which means my course on The 21st Century Polyphonic Novel is a go. Here is the booklist I landed on.

The books for next yearโ€™s reading project. Like me, all of them were released into the world in 1966.
