Loved the book launch for Guillermo Stitch’s new novel The Coast of Everything. He turned the tables by interviewing David Collard: ‘Where do I get my ideas from?’ ‘What’s next for me?’

Great to find John S Joyce in the 1926 Irish census living in Claude Rd. This was the house where he sat for his portrait by Tuohy and where he was visited by Robert McAlmon. I think he wouldn’t have described himself as ‘Clerk Retired’…Thanks @twain33.bsky.social

I’ve made a cave installation celebrating Robot the dog, who discovered the Lascaux cave in 1940. It’ll be in Brighton Open Market through May m.youtube.com/watch?v=92jX...

I love Donal Fallon’s new book The Dublin Pub, which brings back vivid memories of my first visit to Dublin in 1981. I had a drink in the Brazen Head, and took the blurry photo of the landlady, Mrs Cooney…she’s on the cover of the book too.

Does anyone else remember Aaargh! the wonderful comics exhibition at the ICA in 1970-71? We had a family trip there and, aged 12, I wandered on my own into a dark screening room where they had a slide show of Robert Crumb’s Despair comic. A life changing experience.

Frank Grimes performing his Joyce show at the launch of David Collard’s Multiple Joyce in 2022 at the Bloomsbury Hotel. We went for a drink after in the French House and look who walked in by chance. A lovely man.

A Bloomsday pilgrimage to the Victoria Palace Hotel in Paris, which James Joyce described as a ‘caravanserai peopled by American loudspeakers’, yet he wrote the best parts of Finnegans Wake here. peterchrisp.blogspot.com/2025/07/jame...

Thanks David - I joined to say how sad I was to hear that Frank Grimes has died. He gave such a good Joyce performance at your book launch of Multiple Joyce in 2022. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/a...
