“Language is the conscience of the race…” #ezrapound #peterackroyd
In the middle of March, I hit a real groove with my reading, and I raced through the three Colettes, "Shriver", Yeats and Crispin in the same number of days as there were books... However, after finishing the Crispin, I confess I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to read next. I have, of course, any number of options on Mount TBR but the problem was deciding.

I'm very happy with this redesign of #Player #Handout A for Return of the Ripper. Thanks to @Printdevil for help with sourcing the beautiful background image. I laid out the foreground text and #vector art using #Inkscape. The words are inspired by #Hawksmoor by #PeterAckroyd.

@Taskerland I enjoyed your review of #Hawksmoor by #PeterAckroyd
I would include #MichaelMoorcock in the Holy Trinity of London #authors who like #psychogeography. He hung out with Ackroyd and Sinclair and his own novel "Mother London" shares some thematic and structural similarities: a tale with an ensemble cast of three main characters whose lives intersect, told in a non-linear narrative that jumps back and forward through several decades of London history.

Have reached the early 1920s in the final volume of #PeterAckroyd’s #History of #England series. So much I never knew or fully understood about those 1st decades of the 20th century & what a reminder that politics is basically groping in the dark again & again with the same recurring, possibly intractable, challenges; the utter randomness of events, & its actors & subjects - brilliantly brought to life by Ackroyd as modern people no more or less flawed than you & me.
So much to learn.
