a short piece on topics I care deeply about, including trauma plots, "romance," and the mute compulsion of economic relations thanks @CFog4 for the theoretical touchstone thanks @PublicBooks for working with me publicbooks.org/mute-compuls…

Anyone in Cph wanna discuss Anna Kornbluh’s Immediacy? Me, Tina Lupton and @CFog4 are organizing an informal reading session on May 22, from 10-12, at Uni of Cph - if interested, hit me up (DM or [email protected])! We will read the intro & the stuff on writing and theory

It was such a privilege to review Kornbluh’s Immediacy - a love letter to (and also an elegy for)✨mediation✨ To many more years of density, abstraction, and opacity🔥
“Prequel, quel, sequel, quel surprise,” Kornbluh quips. @cfog4 weighs in on the “method wars” of Anna Kornbluh’s latest, "Immediacy: Or, the Style of Too Late Capitalism." lareviewofbooks.org/article/…

“The comic or happy ending is precisely what’s tragic; the rich’s suffering along the way is the comedy.” Read Nathaniel Likert on “The White Lotus” and the long history of tragicomedy, a genre that emerged in renaissance Italy. buff.ly/3HHrqGJ

If, previously, minimalist narration was thought of as a trauma-response, I suggest minimalism has a new life, rendering ruminative thought processes in the wake of injury⬇️ Much gratitude to the P45 team, my fellow contributors and @michaeldango & @connorrbennett
Replying to @AtPost45
Exploring “crisis ordinariness” in novels by Weike Wang and Jenny Offill, @CFog4 observes that “minimalism makes space for a conflicted, drawn-out elegy, for counter-factual speculation and melancholy investigation” post45.org/2023/04/minimal-t…

What is narrative reticence? How do we make sense of it, against the backdrop of a highly confessional culture? And what does Francois' "open secret" have to do with the #MeToo movement? This &more, considered through close readings of Nunez’s The Friend: muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/8…
