A Killjoy’s Answer

A killjoy’s answer is an answer to these questions: why another book on complaint? Why another trade book? Why another handbook?

A Complainer’s Handbook is currently in the process of being retitled but that is not an answer to these questions.

The answer is in an off-repeated utterance:

“This does not just happen in universities, you know.”

I did know.

I do know.

And so, I am pulling these stories out.

Their killjoy truths, too.

I knew I needed to write that knowledge.

Or from it.

I will be sharing what these tales tell us: about institutional power and institutional change.

World change even.

Power also.

Tales and trails.

And that is also a killjoy’s answer to the question of why I am writing a newsletter.

I am writing to share killjoy knowledge, to ask questions, to answer them. You can subscribe here:
