Extremes of broitude abound in Fitzy's biography - interesting how authentic tragedy and over-the-top boorishness can coexist so completely in one body. Why and how "Gatsby" got its second act in American letters would be a worthy topic too, as with "Moby Dick"; how the hell the works weren't recognized in their own time still baffles me, but busted reputations across the publishing world must've surely been a factor in each case. There's only so many Parisian porches you can figuratively piss on in life, I suppose 😆

Wow. So incredibly sad!
