F. Scott Fitzgerald

I could go on, but I’ve said all this before. I read somewhere that Gatsby sells half a million copies every year. If that’s correct, how can the crap that’s published every year be out there? How can television be so bad, with its saccharine, smug, self-adoring morons and their fake laughter be allowed to assault our senses daily. How can American student athletes graduate from universities and be unable to write or read? Papa and Scott are very easy to read and understand. Maybe it’s because they’re given postmodern writers in class. Even a great literary critic like Taki would be illiterate if he had to go though that torture as a young man.
