If this interests you, I would highly recommend his (and others') 2007 HOPL III paper "A history of Haskell: being lazy with class" [0].
SPJ is famous in the PL world for his exceptional gift of explaining advanced topics in a very palatable manner. He's also amazingly kind, and quite generous with his time when he can be. I have yet to meet someone with a negative opinion of him.
