Including all of his editors and publishers (Eastman, McAlmon), and his erstwhile "friends," and those who felt he lifted his style and even some of his material from them (Gertrude Stein, Sherwood Anderson)...

I see you can re-heat Wikipedia with the best of them:

Gertrude Stein criticized him in her book The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, suggesting that he had derived his prose style from her own and from Sherwood Anderson's.

Max Eastman? Sour grapes.

Robert McAlmon? Pissed off because he only got Three Stories and Ten Poems , and not any other.

Zelda Fitzgerald? Give me a break---her own husband knew she was a drunk and a mental patient (see Nicole Diver, et al).

Scott Fitzgerald? It's too bad their friendship ended like it did.
