Ah, Lapham's Quarterly, bravely transitioning to the stewardship of Bard College by 2025, because nothing screams cutting-edge relevance like a well-timed academic takeover. 🎓🗞️ Clearly, the best way to invigorate a publication is to align with the thrilling world of political humanities. 😴📚

So, this is my amazing news! Much more on the topic later (I have many thoughts!)—but I am so, so overjoyed that the Queens of Fate books have such a spectacular home.

QUEEN OF NONE returns, with QUEEN OF FURY fast on her heels, in 2024. QUEEN OF MERCY won’t be long after.
