  • On the Square in Oxford Since 1979. U.S
    Dear READER, Service and Gratitude It is not possible to express sufficiently how thankful we at Square Books have been, and remain, for the amazing support so many of you have shown to this bookstore—for forty years, but especially now. Nor can I adequately thank the loyal, smart, devoted booksellers here who have helped us take safe steps through this unprecedented difficulty, and continue to do so, until we find our way to the other side. All have shown strength, resourcefulness, resilience, and skill that maybe even they themselves did not know they possessed. We are hearing stories from many of our far-flung independent bookstore cohorts as well as other local businesses, where, in this community, there has long been—before Amazon, before Sears—a shared knowledge regarding the importance of supporting local places and local people. My mother made it very clear to me in my early teens why we shopped at Mr. Levy’s Jitney Jungle—where Paul James, Patty Lampkin, Richard Miller, Wall Doxey, and Alice Blinder all worked. Square Books is where Slade Lewis, Sid Albritton, Andrew Pearcy, Jesse Bassett, Jill Moore, Dani Buckingham, Paul Fyke, Jude Burke-Lewis, Lyn Roberts, Turner Byrd, Lisa Howorth, Sami Thomason, Bill Cusumano, Cody Morrison, Andrew Frieman, Katelyn O’Brien, Beckett Howorth, Cam Hudson, Morgan McComb, Molly Neff, Ted O’Brien, Gunnar Ohberg, Kathy Neff, Al Morse, Rachel Tibbs, Camille White, Sasha Tropp, Zeke Yarbrough, and I all work. And Square Books is where I hope we all continue to work when we’ve found our path home-free.

    Department of English ANNUAL NEWSLETTER 2018 My goal has always been to attend law school. I had no idea that studying English would also allow me to gain exposure in Irish history and literature, computer coding, and zombie films in relation to eighteenth- century texts.” —Dani Perez ’18 1 WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR Welcome. Composing my greeting to all of you— alums, colleagues, students, friends— provides me the chance to pause and assess the state of the department, our achievements, and the challenges before us. The ongoing worry, of course, is our dropping enrollment, which seems to have leveled off a bit, though a large drop in the number of potential students in the traditional-age bracket looms on the horizon. We continue to broadcast the message about the value of the English major—and the wide range of employment opportunities our students discover upon graduation. Our efforts continue, meanwhile, to redefine and assess exactly what we want our students to learn, to re- articulate our goals, and to publicize them Department Chair Knoper with Awards Night as widely as we can. undergraduate speaker Pavithra Devajaran.

Jeremy Jordan and Alexandra Chen hope to make a quiet home together but struggle to find a space safe from their personal secrets. For Jeremy, this means leaving behind his former life as an intelligence operative during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. For Alexandra, a high-powered job in image management for whole countries cannot prepare her for her missing brother’s sudden reappearance. In a culture of limitless surveillance, Jeremy and Alexandra will go to great lengths to protect what is closest to them and answer the question of whether their love will be returned. Spanning decades and continents, their saga brings them into contact with a down-and-out online journalist, shadowy security professionals, and jockeying technology experts, each of whom has a different understanding of whether information really protects us, and how we might build a world worth trusting in our paranoid age. TRACY O’NEILL is a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree, was long- listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan Prize, and was awarded the Center for Fiction’s Emerging Writers Fellowship.
