A left-angled trapezoid on the graph of political philosophies, apply me no labels.

Other descriptions might include an Architect at Large, occasionally writing complete fiction but mostly working on zettel.io

Some interests, obsessions.

I've just seen the Netflix series All The Light We Cannot See, based on the novel by Anthony Doerr which is sitting on my bookcase. It has tempted me to read and/or reread some novels based in WWII.

Does anyone have any recommendations of novels based historically in or around WWII?

Similarly Slaughter House 5 (So it Goes), I should include Gravity's Rainbow even though I still need to finish it; Lawrence Durrell, the Alexandria Quartet, the Avignon Quintet; Herman Wouk's The Winds of War;but primarily Vasily Grossman Life and Fate, and Stalingrad.

Some folks here are in disciplines that have fewer folks here than others. Is there any interest in using a hashtag so that if someone does us all the favor of live tooting an academic conference, we can at least boost the signal? This would eventually encourage an increase use of Mastodon over Txitter for live conference/workshop/seminar/symposium coverage, I hope. @academicchatter
