Starting the long process of preparing an edition of my Collected Essays, 2005–20 (hoping to publish next year or 2021). It'll leave out a few stray and early pieces but also includes a lot of short, scattered writings, some unpublished work, and I plan to ask a few people to include their essays that directly prompted or responded to my own. A prospective table of contents (which will doubtless grow as I keep writing over the next year):
