What the fuck was his problem, old sport? Anonymous Mon Sep 4 22:52:53 2017 No.9981276 [Reply] [Original]

50 pages left of This Side of Paradise and it's just now getting somewhere. Was Fitzgerald a fluke? One-hit-wonder with Gatsby? Hack fraud?

>>9981276
This Side of Paradise (as you know) was his first work and he tries and experiments a lot of things with his writing so it's a bit all over the place and one of his lesser works. I agree with the guy above me that Tender is the Night is his best work although it's probably not as tidy and concise as Gatsby

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 4 23:12:13 2017 No.9981332 Tender is the Night was a good read...starts off really strong IMO, I was very impressed. Fizzles out after the halfway mark, but wOrth a shot. Much more depth than Gatsby.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 4 23:19:07 2017 No.9981349 >>9981332 I had the exact opposite response in that I thought the book really picked up in the second half, mainly because you can sense a lot of the stuff between DIck/Nicole was autobiographical and Fitzgerald really poured his heart into it

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 5 00:38:30 2017 No.9981560 >>9981276 This Side of Paradise is definitely his worst. Do yourself a favor and read The Beautiful and Damned and then This Side of Paradise.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 5 04:56:42 2017 No.9982152 >>9982077 what did they mean by this?
