Hello Mopsians :)

We have good news for you!

Hello Mopsians :)

Dear Penelope Fitzgerald admirers,

I urgently need your opinion in terms of naming Fitzgerald’s admirers. For example, Jane Austen admirers are called Janeites, Virginia Woolf fans are called Woolfians so what about us? Penelope Fitzgerald fans? She didn’t like her first name, preferred to be called Mops. Shall we call ourselves Mopsians, or any other ideas? Looking forward to your answers :)

What’s up folks? We come up with a challenge this time.

As we all know, Hermione Lee, the writer of  Penelope Fitzgerald: A Life, is not big fan of writing on computer. In an interview, I'm a classic example of my generation, which is that I started writing books before computers arrived, and I continue to feel the need for a physical connection between the pen and the page. So I write by hand when I'm writing a book, and then I put it onto the computer, she declares.
