Welcome to glamour fiction, a newsletter by Alice Marwick, nee alicetiara.
I am an academic and a general pop culture enthusiast. “Glamour fiction” is the name for thick 1980s novels about jet-setting heroines and the scoundrelly men they fall for. They include a lot of descriptions of clothes. This newsletter has nothing to do with any of that, except for maybe the clothes.
I reserve the right to write about anything that I find interesting, including but not limited to: my actual work, shows I’m binge-watching, my kids, sci-fi and fantasy novels, Drag Race, celebrity gossip, hot takes, the concerns of academics with PhDs in communication who teach at R1s, pop music, fashion, and cooking. Who knows what else?? You, if you subscribe.
