Omg you’re THAT Katy Hays. I truly loved The Cloisters and felt it was closer to home on the life of early academics than anything else I’ve read. A really delightful(ly dark) and thoughtful read that stayed with me.

omg! I've never been called "THAT" Katy Hays before and i don't think I want to be called anything else ever again! No, but in all seriousness, thank you for reading! I'm a long-time AHP reader and love the comments section on her posts so much!

Also adding this to my TBR list!

(The people in my life are tired of hearing about it, but I say all the time that the comment section of Culture Study is my favorite corner of the internet, BUT MY GOD IT'S SO TRUE)

I read your book last fall and LOVED it!! One of the things that really resonated was how clearly you *know* the dark side of academia and the hopes we harbor as students in the system. (And now I want to mine your bibliography about Renaissance tarot cards!!) :)
