New writing (and a book club update)
A Christmas project and the coming launch of 1984
Hey everybody, it’s been a while. I just wanted to share a quick update: The Great American Book Club will relaunch in January with a reading of 1984. A full announcement will come in a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, I’ve been working on a second project that I’m thrilled to share: The Chains of Christmas, authored by my Christmas-hating alter-ego Christopher Crumb, an Ivy League professor of cultural studies who despises the holiday and everything it represents. Elf on the Shelf, Rudolph, mistletoe, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”, Christmas trees—Professor Crumb sees the horror and unfreedom in all of it, and has plenty to say. I have three articles up right now with more coming throughout December. You can find the project here.
If you’ve enjoyed my writing about literature and want to see what else I can do, please check it out. If you’re just here for the books, stay tuned for the launch of 1984.
As always, thanks for reading and subscribing. I would end this by saying Merry Christmas, but Professor Crumb would take off my head.
See you guys soon.
