#AContinuation25

A collaboration between Kim (@joiedevivre9), Rebecca (@ofbooksandbikes) 
​& everyone else who wants to participate.


"The beginning of each new project was always a continuation." 
​— Kate Briggs, THE LONG FORM
Follow &/or join our conversation on Bluesky or Instagram using our hashtag, #AContinuation25.

Our project began in January 2024 (initial intro below) & has continued to morph since then. We're currently in part 6 (Proust!) which began on August 2, 2025. It's never too late to join; everyone is welcome! We're pretty casual... everyone reads individually using our page guide & then posts thoughts, quotes, reactions, photos, etc. related to our reading using the hashtag (which gives us a central hub to engage with). We also schedule video calls periodically to gather & discuss. Our schedules are posted below & the latest information can be found in our most recent newsletter. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.


​​(Note that our hashtag for Parts 1-3 was #KateBriggs24.)

​Our initial (January 2024) introduction to #KateBriggs24: 
Kate Briggs’s writing feels to us like a call to collaborate. THIS LITTLE ART and THE LONG FORM are themselves collaborations; they are, among many things, conversations with writers, artists, translators, critics, and philosophers. The books invite other voices into their pages and respond to them with curiosity and openness. We finished the books wanting to enter the dialogue taking place in their pages and continue that dialogue with friends and fellow readers. We have found that we can’t stop talking about them.
​

In the spirit of THE LONG FORM's opening sentence, “The beginning of each new project was always a continuation,” we want to invite others into our ongoing conversation with this new project, a year-long reading and study of Briggs’s solo-authored books and her Roland Barthes translations. We want to read slowly and with care, and see what happens when we — all of us — read and think together. Everyone is welcome!

We've completed Parts 1-5 and Part 6 began on August 2nd! ​It's never too late to join; everyone is welcome!
