Where No Mangoes

Huckleberries and Hamburgers, coming soon

Welcome to my blog, Where No Mangoes!
This blog began as a record of my sabbatical from teaching in 2024: a comic travelogue of an 8.5-month break from teaching at Temple University for travel and work on my new book on satire. It was a satire-batical.

Now the blog is back in action, as I am abroad again to teach at Temple University in Japan’s newly opened campus in Kyoto. The second iteration is here: Where No Mangoes: Kyoto.

To navigate around this blog, here are the Sections. In addition to the semi-regular blog posts listed a bit below, which you can subscribe to, there’s also:

Now with navigation to the next or previous post because I finally found those buttons!

By the way, your comments are really appreciated! Once you have typed them into the Comments box, I have to click to approve them, and that sometimes takes a little time.
It’s as close as we can achieve here to a real bureaucracy.
