Yes, the Fitzgerald biography, received as a Christmas present, is here and waiting. I thought I would finish her novels first, though the later ones are proving less to my taste. Eventually the penny dropped on why they're so different. Now into the late 80s/early 90s, postmodernisn raises its ugly head so I shouldn't be surprised by novels set in obscure historical periods with real life characters and references to such things as Italian cinema, Russian literature and book production.

It was closed on the saturday afternoon I was there in October much to my disappointment Interesting to see two new independent shops have opened in Shoreditch - one a vinyl only Sister Ray, the other a third branch of secondhand dealers Flashback Records. Obviously reflects the changing geographical focus of the younger pound Yes, average age of the citizenry in Holt is probably 30 years higher than in Shoreditch :-)
