Back to All Events
The Life of the Mind, by Christine Smallwood (2024)
The Life of the Mind is mordant and witty, inhabiting the abyss between what we think and what we do. Dorothy is an adjunct professor of English who teaches "Writing Apocalypse. She is directly affected by the starving of humanities departments, and is also keenly aware of the less material (for her, for now) but even larger threat of climate change. The environmental crisis might be worldwide, but Dorothy, like all of us, is endlessly trapped inside herself.
