Status Updates From Manhood in America

Bruce Springsteen referenced, my books are bleeding into each other

Very excited to be getting back into studying the weird period in which men thought church was beta until they gave Jesus abs lmao

I just learned about the political allegories of Wizard of Oz so that’s neat

When a discussion of American fiction’s infatuation with male bonding included a reference to Kirk and Spock I unfortunately got excited enough to annotate “live long and prosper” in the margins 🖖🏻

Oh you thought that grad school was done bc I’m on summer break? Joke’s on you! Since my decision to go on co-op torpedoed the normal MA trajectory but I still want to graduate on time, my professor was nice enough to set up a one-on-one reading course curated by yours truly. Get ready to see a lot of books about the history of American masculinity!
