here's the TOC for Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century!
the Introduction and Practical Materials section are both pretty hefty, about 15k words each (three parts of 5k words in both), and each contributor's essay is 2-3k words

Good question!
The next project (ie not the one I’m supposed to finish this sabbatical) is about believing in the novel (the novel’s representation of belief & its status as object of belief), so I am trying to think hard about superstition & specter-seeing (& also Hume, who makes this respectable?)

@tomkoenigs.bsky.social ‘s is the best book in years and years on the topic: totally revelatory for me when I read it a couple of years ago. I’m hoping we meet sooner rather than later! Maybe at acla?

Oh my goodness—my ears are burning! This means so much coming from someone whose work has had a profound influence on me. I sadly won’t be at ACLA this year, but I hope we cross paths before too long. And the new project sounds incredibly exciting—I can’t wait to hear more about it.
