I really like Stewart O'Nan, and I really like The Great Gatsby, and I even had the chance to hear Erik Larson (a Hemingway fan) interview O'Nan in Asheville (where Zelda died) a few weeks ago. I am 100% gung-ho about this book in theory. Just not in practice. ;)As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-83608154092291719092015-03-10T19:48:00.211-04:002015-03-10T19:48:00.211-04:00I hope they enjoy it!I hope they enjoy it!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-20070314652562486542015-03-10T19:47:45.114-04:002015-03-10T19:47:45.114-04:00I'm a gigantic Fitzgerald fan and this is the ...I'm a gigantic Fitzgerald fan and this is the first novel (that I know of) that deals with the end of his life.

This book sounds good, but I'm not sure I want to live his last few depressing years. I like to think of him and Zelda partying in Paris with the other ex-pats and flappers. :) Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-44140079407929440752015-03-10T18:52:11.261-04:002015-03-10T18:52:11.261-04:00This sounds fascinating.

I loved Fitzgerald and I was always so saddened when I'd read about his last years, his concern over his wife's mental state and the Hollywood hackwork he had to take to make ends meet.
