Just put my abstract in for the 2026 international Iris Murdoch conference …

The railways of Iris Murdoch 🤩 #IrisMurdoch

“The #novelist #IrisMurdoch, whose lengthy, involved, brilliant #novels are probably the kind of thing most people don’t read any more, understood #attention better than most.” Well, I know some people who still read her. Otherwise this piece on our #attentiondeficit by #MarkKingwell is very good.
