Possibly The Last Page About ... SCOTTIE

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A tragic truth

about F. Scott Fitzgerald

is that he basically

spent two dollars

for every dollar he earned

 

Scottie Fitzgerald

ended up with

more money than

she could ever spend

Scottie's oldest daughter

—ELEANOR LANAHAN—

did what had to be done:

a family member

writing a biography of

Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's

one and only

"child"

 

I finally completed

the reading of

this 600 page book

 

My knee-jerk reaction

to finishing a book

is to seek out

a review

from a reliable source

BUT

The New York Times Review

was very negative about

Scottie

as was 

Kirkus Review

 

 

Tragically negative reviews

despite some

revelatory and fascinating

writing

merely extends the myth

that Scott and Zelda

were the most tragic couple

of 20th Century

American culture 

and

its most beautiful couple
