May 1924: A jujitsu instructor shows women the art of toppling a male attacker in a self-defense training session in London.

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! https://t.co/HVekBCw1dF

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!

Summer #reading is here. Colm Tóibín's Long Island & City in Ruins @donwinslow (& his whole Danny Ryan trilogy): totally different, equally riveting, character driven & unputdownable #books. @Gus4NY & I talk about how great they are. https://t.co/WBNTiWtRlQ #read #summereading

May 23, 1924: After a boom year for the Cincinnati clothing factory he owns, Arthur Nash gives away his $600,000 share of the dividend to the 4,000 workers. Had he taken the profit he would be worth over $1 million, but no person “has a right to be a millionaire.” 1/3

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. https://t.co/FxdUU4iNWq

@UPS Showed up two hours late. Said, oh no. This is UPS Ground. If it said UPS Air I would have had to deliver it by 1215.' I have 6 emails that say differently...

[Kathleen D Donnelly @SuchFriends]

@UPS Now two hours. TWO hours. I can't even leave the living room to go to the bathroom--I'll come back to find one of your 'We missed you' cards!

[Kathleen D Donnelly @SuchFriends]

@UPS Your map shows your truck right outside my house, but--trust me--it's not...

[Kathleen D Donnelly @SuchFriends]

Hey @UPS You said the package would be here by 1215, 90 minutes ago. Now your site says 'by 7 pm'! I have to go to work!

[Kathleen D Donnelly @SuchFriends]

Wow! You've sure lost weight....

[Ian Marchant @ThatIanMarchant]

Paperback publication day. Hoorah hooray!

[Just Joyce @johnstonglenn]

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.

[Just Joyce @johnstonglenn]

Handsome. Probably Berthold Wolpe’s handiwork.

@MarketDistrict Hey. Love your Shadyside store. So I thought I'd be safe transferring buses there. Ha. Whoever you sent out to salt the walk tossed it all in one spot. The rest was dangerous slush. Thank God for patient bus drivers...
