With @n_j_dames, @soratcli discusses trying to avoid the imperative that seems to govern the exercise of thinking, writing, and research: that input must mean output, that hours spent traveling or reading must yield results. buff.ly/3VBrvCJ

“The ethical work of the book itself is in acknowledging that this fictionalizing—this rendering of others as ‘creatures’—is inevitable, tempting, and also a kind of ethical failure.” buff.ly/3DihtAg
So delighted to have the opportunity to have this conversation with the brilliant @n_j_dames in Public Books - just out today : publicbooks.org/parallel-tra…

As the mornings freshen, a classic @BacklistedPod - Autumn Journal by Louis MacNeice, with matchless readings by Samuel West (@exitthelemming) + lit context from Prof Sophie Ratcliffe (@soratcli). And a six year's younger me, @i_am_mill_i_am and @birchos. backlisted.fm/episodes/220-a…
It was SO lovely to bump into the brilliant @VeeKativhu at @lmhoxford a few weeks ago. So glad to lend her my office as a quiet space for her interview...we were so lucky to have her at LMH, and wonderful to see her back.
