Megan A. Sullivan’s Bookshelf (photograph \u00a9 Megan A. Sullivan)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This photo of the windowsill in my office, taken on one of the first, quiet days of summer on campus, shows some of the books I am looking forward to reading over the next few months. There is a selection from the slew of exciting new books in my field (Erber, Lucena, and Price), and a few that deal with modernity, globalization, and democracy in and beyond Latin America (Garc\u00eda Canclini, Franco, Mitchell). Even though I\u2018m working on a book on abstraction this summer, I hope to get a taste of some of the innovative new work on twentieth-century realism that I\u2019ve been hearing about (Potts, Fore). Right now, I\u2019m reading Jennifer Roberts\u2019s Transporting Visions<\/em> in hopes of extracting some methodological lessons, and just for the pleasure of it!<\/p>\n
