Ha! Glad to deliver. I have another one coming next week about The Last Tycoon, his book about Hollywood, then a brief intermission with Didion before my Hemingway / Fitzgerald frenemy crescendo. Stay tuned!
I know Fitzy means a great deal to you; would be curious to read a think-piece on the Lucey/Scott dialectic, and the ways in which self can be glimpsed in an author's work 😅 I'm more in Ernest's corner, so can't wait to see how the "frenemy crescendo" plays out.
Highly recommend a survey of Fitz's short fiction, and another pass at "Tender Is The Night" if it's been awhile.
Finally, the Fitzgerald piece! This was so great, got me itching to read his biography.
