Great to see that The @BloomsburyBooks Handbook to F. Scott Fitzgerald is now online! Thank you to the editors @drlaurarattray & Linda Wagner-Martin for all their hard work so far. My chapter is on Fitzgerald's Post-War New York. Out January 2025! bloomsbury.com/uk/bloomsbury…
Toibin is coming here to Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh on his lecture tour this September, and I'll be working the hall that night as an usher. Can't wait!

I recommend the Murder by the Book exhibition at Cambridge University Library, which tells a fascinating history of classic British crime fiction. A great way to spend a spare hour in the city. cam.ac.uk/stories/murder-by-…

Shakespeare and Company in paris just got in dozens of copies of A James Joyce Yearbook. Published in 1949, the Yearbook is—or was until now—a rarity, with only four listed on abebooks. This batch came in unexpectedly and had been stored in somebody’s home.

It might be my final post of the year so make it about BOTH the Algonquin Round Table and WWI. This ties into the FPA Archive I manage. #BookTwitter algonquinroundtable.org/serg…

Thanks for your help!

Today in 1871 is the birth of hotelier Frank Case in Buffalo, NY. No Case, no Algonquin Round Table (or maybe it would have been the Astor Round Table). He's largely forgotten today, except that he's included in the iconic @AlHirschfeld drawing. Read: algonquinroundtable.org/i-fo…
