pickDid I really mean to read a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s last few years and Zelda‘s hospitalization? No. But I did want to read an O‘Nan story. Somehow the author kept my interest through his writing style, even as the book began to lag. Not necessarily O‘Nan‘s fault - I mean how many times can you make it interesting that Fitzgerald fell off the wagon yet again? Would I recommend the book? Probably not. But I enjoyed O‘Nan‘s effort.
pickSuper informative about what Fitzgerald‘s influences were when writing Gatsby. Unfortunately, of course, the story ends the same. His last check was for $13 in royalties. The price of genius, I guess.
pickAnother excellent #biography by Jonathan Bate! This time he serves a Keatsian inspired look at F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s life. Bate includes long excerpts from letters and primary source material that enriches this glorious history of two writers gone too soon. I can never get enough of Keats and neither could Fitzgerald! #audiobook BEAUTY+LOVE4EVER

It‘s a pretty decent book. It wasn‘t my favourite book overall, but was one of only two Z books I have read. #alphabetgame #letterz
