This is the collection that grew from the conference in Oxford last March. My essay is "Roses, Beads and Bones: Gender, Borders and Slippage in Tove Jansson's Moomin Comics." Of course it is on the gorgeous comics now being issued by Drawn & Quarterly. I can't wait to read the rest of the essays -- but I will have to wait, as I'm still writing my conference paper which I'll be giving Friday morning in Canada!

Publication: Tove Jansson
It was a nice surprise to come home after a long day of teaching (in which my students did not like Egil Skallagrimsson, grumble grumble) to find my latest publication on the kitchen table.

D'OH!
Yeah, I'm a slacker. Overbooked again, but I'm getting better at avoiding this. Fewer projects, more focus on the ones that matter most -- I'm not even giving a paper at Kalamazoo this coming May! Just organizing a panel and that's already done. I've learned a very useful word: "No!"
