Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 11 Within seconds of taking the floor, my partner Sally, a middle-aged medievalist from a third-tier state university in North Dakota, had proven herself to be the second best dancer at the International Congress on Medieval Studies, and in so doing she leapt […]
