For someone who was the best of everything about my field.

I loved talking with @ryantopper.bsky.social about our recent books. Interested in the structures and possibilities that literature builds? In literary criticism and critical theory? In African studies, postcolonial anglophone literature, psychoanalysis, or the law? We have all this and more!
