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…

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…

On the afternoon of October 24th 1917, four days after my marriage, my wife surprised me by attempting automatic writing. What came…was so exciting, sometimes so profound, that I persuaded her to give an hour or two day after day to the unknown writer.

Oct. 22, 1923: Francis Blanck, 14, takes over as editor of the Wauconda Leader newspaper in Wisconsin a day after the death of his father. Francis writes many of the items, sets the type and supervises the printing before the weekly deadline. (Pittsburgh Post)

'Johnson’s many guests did not come because of the food ‑ usually it was the same ‘citizen’s dinner’ of boiled cod, roast veal and rice pudding – but for the conversation.' @akennedysmith reviews Daisy Hay's book Dinner with Joseph Johnson, in the Dublin Review of Books.
'From the start, women writers contributed to those stimulating discussions and were treated as equals.'
My Dublin Review of Books essay on Daisy Hay’s excellent book, Joseph Johnson: Books and Friendship in a Revolutionary Age @PrincetonUPress
