Upcoming monograph on Charles Dickens and the Classics.
There it is! Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception will publish my book "Charles Dickens and the Classics" next year.
Lots of it is about classics at the street level and how Dickens uses the classics to think about gender, sex, race, and class.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.
It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

Anyway, Happy Independent Bookstore day!

Can we make sure someone at the #whitehouse sees this? They can borrow my calculator.
Not only did the admin use a tariff formula that, according to AEI, "has no foundation in either economic theory or trade law" but they made massive mistakes using their own made-up formula, says AEI via @axios.com. www.axios.com/2025/04/06/t...
Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says
The error over-inflates tariff rates by about a factor of four, AEI's economists say.

@lilyjaniak.bsky.social I would love to read a story about how The Shotgun Theater in Berkeley paints the building for each new play. How many layers of black and red cover those walls?! Thanks. Off to see A Thousand Ships tonight. Loved A Red Carol. Dickens would have loved it.
