Kuhn, Gabriel. Soccer vs. the State: Tackling Football and Radical Politics. 2nd ed. 2018. Oakland: PM Press, 2019. I received an advert about this book from the publisher and ordered it immediately because I was able to get 50% off so it was only $10.00. A steal! Peters, Torrey. The Masker.

Books Acquired Recently
Bellatin, Mario. The Large Glass: Three Autobiographies. Trans. David Shook. Los Angeles: Phoneme Media, 2015. I heard about Bellatin, whose work is mostly only available in Spanish, at MLA a few weeks ago and he sounded intriguing, so I decided to buy the one book of his I could find in English. I bought thisContinue reading “Books Acquired Recently”

Books Acquired Recently: MLA Edition
I got back yesterday from the 2019 Modern Language Association (MLA) convention in Chicago. It was a fantastic time! The weather was unseasonably warm and sunny (it was 50 degrees on Saturday) and I was able to attend lots of excellent panels. I also felt that my presentation on Ana Castillo’s Give It to MeContinue reading “Books Acquired Recently: MLA Edition”
Books Acquired Recently: Holiday Gift Edition
Happily, I received a number of books as gifts this holiday season! Brown, Craig. Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2017.
