I am tidying my study! Which is actually the cupboard under the stairs, pleasingly. Anyway, apparently the chapter plan for MY NEXT BOOK currently only exists in this form, scribbled on a piece of paper where I was planning my AHRC grant application:

so I thought I’d transcribe it here so as to have a copy when I lose the piece of paper AS I INEVITABLY WILL. It makes me happy every time I see it.
Introduction: Bad Art, Bad Readers
1: Codes
2: Holes
3: Worlds
4: Poaching
5: Touching
Conclusion: Politics and Pleasure
Brilliantly, MY LAST BOOK had five chapters with one-word titles, too, but they were:
Aratrum (Plough)
Fulmen (Lightning)
Hostis (Enemy)
Fas (Speakability)
Now
And that’s pretty much the difference between that book and this book.
I want to be your student.
I want you to be, too!
I love the sound of your new book. It immediately brings to mind Eric Michael’s wonderful collection of essays: Bad Aboriginal Art, which is a stunning read. I think you’d like it too.
Awesome! It rings a very vague bell – I’ll add it to my list…
