hot off the presses
My review of Candace Spigelman's Personally Speaking: Experience as Evidence in Academic Discourse can be found in Composition Studies 34.1 and here online.
In three words, binaries be damned.

Sometime, if we ever get the chance, I should tell you about the conversation with Candace that took place before our panel at the last RSA. It was a few months before the book appeared, and she had received some conflicting advice from various people involved in the editorial process. It got downright funny at times as people would really give comments trying to put her on various sides of a binary. She spent the afternoon givng me advice about publishing and it was one of the most fascinating conversations I'd ever had about academic work on personal writing.
Great review! She would have been happy to read it, and the field has lost someone valuable. I miss her.
I'm looking forward to reading your review, by little publishing machine. But I wonder if the doubled "academic" counts as a Freudian slip...?
Ack! thanks for noticing...I'm off to go edit that.
