We are academically famous!

Last June, I was contacted by Liz Finnigan, Course Director for the English and History Undergraduate Program at Southern Regional College, Northern Ireland, asking for “permission” to reference this website for an upcoming book. Despite the nagging feeling that permission isn’t really mine to give — after all, all I did was set up a convenient framework, two decades of transient scholars having done all the real work — permission was granted enthusiastically.
And here we are now, the book has been published, and your humble narrator’s name is listed in the Acknowledgements, along with the name of this site right here.
Yet another chapter in the long list of interesting interactions which swirl around this book. I’m sure you all have similar stories of places and people the pursuit of the wake has introduced you to…
Perhaps you all should consider buying a copy of this book. The table of contents is available in the Amazon listing under “Read sample” if you’re interested in the Wake-related content.
