Jamie Redgate grew up on the north edge of Scotland. He moved south to study English at the University of 
Strathclyde and from there to the University of Glasgow to do an MLitt in American Studies and a PhD in English Literature, the latter of which was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and completed in 2018. The resulting book, Wallace and I (2019), is now available in paperback from Routledge.
I was blown away by it. It’s a complete map of Wallace’s vision of cognition, and it’s just really accessible and smart, so, look for that one.
—Prof. Marshall Boswell, Concavity Show #46.
This elegant volume is a tour de force, cleanly argued, thoroughly grounded, and written with the kind of refreshing lucidity that many seasoned academics struggle to employ.
—Dr Clare Hayes-Brady, The Journal of David Foster Wallace Studies 1:3.
Jamie teaches English and American Literature at the University of Glasgow (and, for a semester in 2023, at the University of Stirling), where he also co-runs the Studies of Meat in the Arts and Culture (StOMAC) reading group. He is currently working on a second monograph tentatively titled Meatfiction: The Treatment of Animals in the Contemporary Novel. His essays (on everything from Tolkien to tennis) have been published by Cambridge University Press, Electric Literature, Unwinnable, Extra Teeth, and elsewhere, while his fiction has been published twice by Gutter: The Magazine of New Scottish Writing, longlisted for the Blinkpot Award, won third prize in the Imprint Writing Competition, and been chosen as the “Best of 2021” by The Rush. In 2022 Jamie was longlisted for the prestigious Moniack Mhor Emerging Writer Award.
