Our latest issue is in the mail! This happens to be co-editor Stephen Ross's last. We are sad to see him go, but thrilled to welcome Faye Hammill to the team!

Greatly honoured to have my article published in latest issue of Modernism/modernity on Wallace Thurman. A sneak peak is up now on Print+.

The essay discusses how WT grappled with the untidy politics of textual labor in the Harlem Renaissance by writing fiction ft. typewriters (machines, women).

What should contemporary criticism do with the novels of Djuna Barnes, Mina Loy, and John Rodker, too often ignored by earlier critics? Read Simon During's review of Liz Pender's THE NEW MODERNIST NOVEL: CRITICISM AND THE TASK OF READING, just published in AFFIRMATIONS: tinyurl.com/bdd9hda3.

Congrats, Stefan! 🎉

I thought I was becoming omniscient but then I realised I was more intrusive.

In the same boat. I have/had(?) plans to go in Oct. but it just gets more horrifying by the day!

If you’ll be in Adelaide next Fri. (28th), please come along to our Dpt of English, Creative Writing, & Film research seminar, led by the brilliant Prof. Peter McDonald (St Hughes, Oxford). He’ll be discussing his recent work on book history in his “Double Life of Books.” Details in the flyer! 📚
