I'm not sure why you expected something other than what you got here. What you got is exactly what I was expecting. "Back to Blood" isn't meant to refer to bloodshed (or at least that alone); it means that in an increasingly diverse America bloodlines and ethnicity will, unfortunately, be the most important identities, more than citizenship, economics, or even religion, and wiping out any hope of solidarity among Americans. Probably the most timely and important subject for an American writer.

Unfortunately, Wolfe seemed to have given up and decided he was bored with the whole thing by the end.

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

It's his last book, and a lot of Fitzgeralds personal issues of his later life are worked into it. Especially when contrasted with This Side of Paradise, the way the book deals with the issues of his middle age and his feelings of failure as a novelist is a ride on the feels train. Personally it's my favourite among his novels.
>>7414315
Maybe not, I think - it's about a life that starts with great promise, and that promise is never fullfilled. Not to be patronizing or something, but I think at 17 you might miss out on some of the tragedy of a life's potential that slipped away. You'll probably like This Side of Paradise, though - it's about Fitzgerald's youth (well, Amory Blaine's, who is an obvious stand-in for Bobby F) and pretty funny. Also, read Catcher.
