Thirty years ago, I planned to write a book about Elizabeth Bowen, the Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer. With a monograph in mind, I assembled Bowen’s essays and reviews scattered across various magazines and newspapers. What started as a few items retrieved from obscurity quickly snowballed into hundreds. I began visiting archives and fitting […]

The fourth track on Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series Volume 1 is a song called ‘No More Auction Block’. The melody is simple, rising and falling in hymn like steps over acoustic guitar. The song’s lyrics are also simple and adamantly clear—a call to end the horrifying spectacle of Black humans being sold as slaves, objects […]

When is interruption an art form? Short answer: the eighteenth-century novel. Interrupting another speaker gets a bad rap: common charges lodged against listeners who jump the queue maintain that interrupters are pushy, rude, impatient, or, at the least, distracting. Certainly, the first generation of emerging novel theorists directed similar rhetoric against the cacophony of tale-tellers […]

Even some restaurants employ a DJ to play dance music, although people are seated to eat and are unlikely to get up for a boogie. According to Google’s Ngram viewer, […]

This book brings together two vibrant academic discourses that have rarely interacted beforehand: religious epistemology and comparative hagiography. Inspired by Austin Farrer’s provocative claim that ‘the saint is our evidence’, it presents what I propose we call the ‘hagiological argument for the existence of God’- that is, the idea that human lives of remarkable holiness […]

Nashville is often associated with music; it is home to the Grand Ole Opry and claims to have the most recording studios of any American city. But its most iconic building may be a full-scale replica of the Parthenon, the most famous temple from 5th-century-BCE Athens. So you might ask: why is there a Parthenon […]
