I finally finished reading 'Sometimes Madness Is Wisdom', the joint biography of Scott and Zelda, but didn't like it. I posted a brief review on scott-fitzgerald.com.

Finally, I found the time to read 'Zelda - An Illustrated Life', a wonderful collection of Zelda's paintings published by her grand-daughter Eleanor Lanahan. I added a brief review to scott-fitzgerald.com.

Just read Fitzgerald's short story "At Your Age" for the first time. It's remarkable how he anticipated at the age of 32 what it would feel like to be 50...

'He had lost the battle against youth and spring, and with his grief paid the penalty for age's unforgivable sin - refusing to die'. - At Your Age, 1929.

Just read Fitzgerald's 1929 short story 'The Swimmers'. About an ageing man whose wife cheats on him, while a younger model is already waiting in the wings. How convenient.

I finally started reading the 'The Basil and Josephine Stories'. 'That kind of party', the first one, according to the chronological order suggested by Basil's age, never got published during Fitzgerald's lifetime - and it's easy to see why.

However, 'A night at the fair' made up for the initial disappointment, as it showcases Fitzgerald at his best, with romantic yearning and bitter irony finely balanced.

After hesitating for many years, I finally watched 'F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Last of the Belles', a TV movie featuring Richard Chamberlain in the title role. While not a masterpiece, it was nowhere near as bad as I had feared. Please find my review at scott-fitzgerald.com.
