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.
