Hi--my first book, THE FAST: The History, Science, Philosophy, and Promise of Doing Without, is being published in February 2024. (In the Realms of the Unreal is an anthology I edited.) It will be translated into Spanish, Italian, and Dutch, and has gotten some nice advance reviews, including a starred review from Publishers Weekly (“Thought-provoking . . . Oakes presents an impressive cultural and historical survey of fasting. . . . Broad in scope and rich in insight, this provides plenty to ponder.”). I've been an editor and publisher for many years. And now I'm working on a second book--wish me luck. When I'm not struggling with my manuscript, I'm working as publisher of The Evergreen Review. Please pay us a visit; no paywall!
