Helem
Stanley WanyIt's been tough term in Canadian Comics re student engagement online but so impressed with response to Stanley Wany's experimental, surreal HELEM last night & willingness to experience a text, follow its lead rather than seek "mastery." Teaching never gets old. @ConundrumCanada

Unsettled: Cambodian Refugees in the New York City Hyperghetto
Eric TangJust finished Unsettled: Cambodian Refugees in the New York City Hyperghetto by @UnsettledCity, most readable, thought provoking academic book read in a long time. Humane, erudite, angry, personal, theoretical. Such a good life narrative of Ra Pronh too. https://t.co/k8GDV6QcJ6
