Dialogue Diary > Quick Criticism
Whereas experimental literary books tend to disappear from public discussion pretty fast, adventurous scholarly projects can take years to start circulating. For this “Quick Criticism” series, I seek to help speed up that dissemination process for recent and forthcoming scholarly texts I consider quite galvanizing. Here eschewing (even while admiring) peer-review style rigor, I nonetheless hope to demonstrate the potential for dialogue to promote as precise, as searching, as broadly inclusive a mode of inquiry as does defending any argument-driven thesis.
