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.

I welcome Richardson scholars to join us as special guests. We had terrific support in 2022 and it greatly enriched the experience. DM me if you'd like to take part.

I will be hosting a group read of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage in 2026. American readers will be able to purchase a new US edition from @asterismbooks.bsky.social in September. Join the email list at ReadingPilgrimage.com to learn more.

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 🥳
