Esteemed Readers & Friends,
I’m having a bit of a rough time—I was diagnosed with shingles three weeks ago, and I’m still struggling with pain, discomfort, and general exhaustion. I’m able to do all the basic stuff, but creative/critical thinking ain’t one of them. The brain fog is real! I’m behind on all my writing.
I just want to mention that I went to my first producers’ meeting for the This Queer Book Saved My Life podcast. I’m excited to have joined them as an associate producer even more now that I’ve had a chance to provide input and receive sneak peeks of future programming.
This week I’m rerunning my September episode with host John Parker in which we discuss my take on the queer subtext of The Hobbit. JP is also a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so it was a lot of fun. If you have a chance, please give a listen.
All my best,
Troy
