@edinburghup.bsky.social Strange Intimacies copies have arrived at the only desk, and in the only garden that I still return to after writing it! Now out in the world, and the cover lightens up November gloom. Might be of interest to @moderniststudies.bsky.social and @modernistudies.bsky.social ppl

Great, The Hearing Trumpet is sooo much fun!
Need to check out the episode and what else they have! I still find BlueSky somewhat hard to navigate so thanks for the reference

No I haven't! Will look it up, thank you!!

or just say hi if you're working on Carrington, from whichever angle!

#modwrite: I'm getting started on researching Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet (1974) via ecocritical/ ecofeminist/ posthuman lens. I know Natalya Lusty's, Susan Suleiman's, Gloria Feman Orenstein's, Gabriel García Ochoa's work, but any suggestions for eco-readings of Carrington are welcome!

There'll be snacks and discount flyers and a potential trip to a (dive) bar! And registration link is here: www.eventbrite.com/e/eret-talvi...

For those based in NY or nearby, I'm doing a small launch of Strange Intimacies – Affect, Embodiment and Materiality in Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys (upcoming next month by @edinburghup.bsky.social) at Fordham Uni! I'll read a bit from the book, and Prof Anne Fernald will be in conversation with me

a belated #modwrite announcement: my first academic book should be out with the Edinburgh UP in October. On its cover is Alexandra Hughes's stunning art. More on what’s between the covers soon, but for now, enjoy Alex’s stunning work, and see more here: alexandrahughes.co.uk

This #modwrite, I'd like to invite those near Ghent University to a one-day workshop 'Women in East European and Baltic Literature and Culture: Subversive Reading and Identity Challenges' on 14 May 2025. Detailed programme in the comments (includes my first ever keynote on modernism's locations!)

It's abstract submission time for NAVSA and MSA 2025! And this year you could theoretically attend both. Proposals for workshops and seminars are due in 11 days for MSA 2025 too, and proposals for panels, papers, and roundtables are due in about a month!

This is where the American administration is now—unambiguously on the side of tyranny.

This #modwrite I'm recovering from a flu (had a strange intimacy with a virus) and am also patching up the typescript of my book to be, on strange intimacies, in Woolf and Rhys though, not in viruses
