Boston Globe reports on MLA 2013
I am late sharing some of my thoughts regarding the 2013 meeting of the Modern Language Association (short version: an amazing set of sessions this year; more thoughts can be found at my Twitter feed), but someone alerted me to this Boston Globe article covering the convention. Jeremy C. Fox at the Globe visited those sessions intersecting with the larger New England area and its rich history--and he mentioned the session "Native Literary Boston" in which I participated! Not to insult Boston at all (including the excellent Newbury Comics located near the convention site), but it makes me laugh that George Copway's insulting remarks towards the city, as quoted from my presentations, was included in the article!
Thanks to Mr. Fox for passing along to the Globe's readership some of the work we at Native Library Boston have been doing. Check out the article here--and until I can collect my thoughts more about MLA, for now I'll just say thanks again to everyone who came out to "Native Literary Boston," my other session for the Poe Studies Association and the Nathaniel Hawthorne Society, and sessions featuring my colleagues from Stony Brook University.
