Writer, historian. Labour histories, social histories, biographies of writers, mostly British but occasionally elsewhere. Always got my nose in a novel.

One of my favourite acts of academic service - as the Americans call it - is writing book reviews. All too often they are written to satisfy an agenda but my approach, taught to me by the master, @malcomaxx.bsky.social, is to consider the book as a new reader, to reflect on what sticks or does not.
