Then there Tender Is The Night. A lot of high-lifers. With all those parties Gatsby threw you would have thought his true love would have known all along he was there. I wonder if our Nick Carraway is anything like this one. Hope not. Seemed like a likable innocent hanger-on.
Fitzgerald died in his mid 40’s. Bummer. Hope he enjoyed that kind of life. Princeton-right?
It is good though.
