Gee ... I thought that would endear him to Salinger even less, seeing as
Fitzgerald was such an obvious favourite of Salinger's. Personally speaking
I'd rather have ten Fitzgeralds than one Hemingway. Never could understand
all that macho posturing BS.

Speaking of Fitzgerald, there's going to be a seminar at my university next
week called `What's Wrong With This Picture : The Filmings of the Great
Gatsby'. It should be interesting - and I'll try and get one in for all of
you who thought Mia Farrow was all wrong for Daisy (:
