Likewise published in 2010 was Gossip, a special issue that he guest-edited forModern Drama, where he was book review editor from 2010 to 2014. His second full-length book,Obstruction, was published by Duke University Press in March 2016 and investigates the surprising intellective value of five putative impediments: embarrassment, laziness, slowness, cynicism, and digressiveness. A first pocket monograph,Knots Landing, was published as part of Wayne State University Press's TV Milestones series in spring 2015; and a second pocket monograph,Television Scales, was published by punctum books in fall 2019. This latest project demonstrates how the problem of scale in the field of television may be turned into a resource and a method for a television studies that would pay better attention to messy medial complexities, peripatetic critical practices, and vulgar psychogeographies.
