I paid a lovely flying visit to that London yesterday to speak @londonmodernismsem.bsky.social on #TheGreatGatsby, inflation, & the public money paradigm. I said a quick ‘Hi’ to a modernist icon on my way to @ies-sas.bsky.social & treated myself to a new keyring from the @britishlibrary.bsky.social.

A picture of me in sunglasses and a floral shirt, standing next to the bronze head of Virginia Woolf in Tavistock Square Gardens, Bloomsbury.

A keyring in the form of a miniature copy of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Happy 100th Birthday to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, which was first published on 10 April 1925 and which I’m looking forward to discussing at the @londonmodernismsem.bsky.social one month from today 🥳

UK Joyceans/Modernists: because of the UK's unique copyright legislation, access to jamesjoycecorrespondence.org was blocked -- until now. The Joyce letters are now open to UK users, which will make a huge difference for all of us.

By way of introduction (this is who I am and what I do), let me tell you about something I got up to this summer. May Sinclair has an archive at Penn, but some papers were recently donated to Sussex. They were a mess! Nibbled by mice and In all kinds of order maysinclairsociety.com/2024/09/26/m...
