Today’s episode features an interview with Lydia Cooper and Matthew Reznicek, the guest editors of a brand new special issue of Studies in the Novel focusing on “Disease and Disability.”
As they say in their introduction, “This special issue offers critical insights into the way the novel as a form intertwines, disaggregates, confounds, and represents the embodied experience of disability and disease.” With articles that consider Nathanael Hawthorne, Ling Ma, Toni Morrison, Somerset Maugham, Wilkie Collins, and more, this discussion sets the stage for a can’t-miss issue of studies in the way novels can challenge and broaden "our understanding of how and why novelistic discourse is uniquely capable of representations of disease and disability”

4.8 Leviathan Special Issue On Melville's Queer Afterlives
On today’s episode we’re talking with the guest editors of a forthcoming issue of Leviathan, a journal of Melville Studies. These three editors, Jordan Alexander Stein, Dana Seitler, and Adam Fales have put together a riveting collection of essays exploring what they call Melville's Queer Afterlives — scholarship on the ways Herman Melville’s work has influenced queer studies today.
This is an epic conversation that includes mentions of Maurice Sendak and John Ashbery and, believe it or not, Gilbert Gottfried.
