… there is some culture up here after all. Word Power’s Edinburgh Book Fringe, to be precise. Where, if you squint carefully, you will notice this. I will be appearing alongside Thomas Legendre who will be reading from his novel, The Burning, a thriller set in the rarefied world of academic economists. Sounds unlikely – but then you never thought you’d read a thriller all about birdwatching, either, did you?
Anyway, be there or be, er, somewhere else, obviously.

Wanted to be there but the hotels turned out to be so expensive this year. We’re getting 7 nights in Paris including flights for the same price as 4 nights in Edinburgh. Hope it goes well for you.

So much for the credit crunch, eh?

Academic economists? They’re the devil’s creatures. Beware, my dear, the company you keep in the evil city! (And enjoy it, of course.)
