reading while walking

Hello! Welcome to reading while walking, my online home. I’m Marcela and you can read more about me by clicking here. Though this is a website I created to collect texts I published and organise links and references to my various academic and creative pursuits, I felt like it’d be weird to just name it after myself. I first read Milkman, by Anna Burns, in 2018. In this novel, the unnamed main character finds happiness and an escape from the pressures of real life by reading while walking about and this becomes a major element in the plot. I would go on to write my PhD thesis about that and reading-while-walking will forever stay with me.
