George Justice and I were privileged to serve as co-presidents of the Samuel Johnson Society of the Central Region, hosting its annual meeting at Arizona State University on March 6-7. The conference featured ten fabulous papers by junior and senior scholars, as well as a stunning keynote address, "Johnson's Preface to Shakespeare at 250," by Prof. Joseph Roach of Yale University. Thank you to all who presented, participated, attended, and supported the conference. See you next year at Northwestern University, with our president, Prof. Vivasvan Soni.

    ​The quotation book I edited, The Daily Jane Austen: A Year of Quotes, is just out from for the University of Chicago Press.

    With the support of a Guggenheim fellowship I'm completing biography on sister novelists Jane and Anna Maria Porter, to be published by Bloomsbury in 2022.

    When I'm able to elbow my way into it, I also write on roller derby, women, and sports. I published a piece on Rollerball (1975) in Slate.
