I Know the Site Is in Arrears – The Blog Has Not Been Fed in Years – It’s Even Worse Than It Appears, but It’s All Right

After (literally) almost twenty straight years, I think my silly little habit of blogging links may be well and truly dead; with everything else going on in my life at the moment I have to accept that I just don’t have the time. Still, a few things I wanted to put up as the site fades to black, at least for a bit:

Science Fiction Film and Television 16.3 was a banger! Check it out! I’ve got a short thing about The Last of Us in there, building on the GSSB episode I was on; let me know if you want to read it and you don’t have access and I can send it along.The “Oversights” double issue was super fun too.I was in the Washington Post over the summer, ranting about Indiana Jones. I had some book chapters come out, too, if you’re into that sort of thing.Uneven Futures has had some great reviews, including this one from LARB, this one from Science Fiction Studies, and this one from H-Net Environment. Ida and Sean and I did a podcast. It was even on the long list for the BSFA. It’s not too late to get your copy!The changes to the grad program I helped develop as DGS and then put through as chair got a nice writeup last week in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Whatever else happens: send your English-curious students to Marquette!I’ve been on the news a couple times.It’s coming faster than you think: the call for papers for SFRA 2024.And I’ll be on the BBC next week for a short show on Parable of the Sower.

We’ll meet again (don’t know where, don’t know when)…
