What Classic Literature Was Almost Called (20 books items)

"Fitzgerald wrote the novel under many titles, including Incident at West Egg; Under the Red, White, and Blue; Among Ash-Heaps and Millionaires; The Journals of Nick Carraway; On the Road to West Egg; Gold-Hatted Gatsby; and The High-Bouncing Lover. For publication, Fitzgerald seriously considered Trimalchio in West Egg. Like Gatsby in the novel, Trimalchio, a character in Petronius's Satyricon, is a parvenu known for his lavish, orgiastic parties. But Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, and editor, Max"

Conspiracy Theories About Classic Characters (8 books items)

" Nick Carraway is Gay. The aforementioned Greg Olear convinced us on two points — first, the way Carraway describes female characters as opposed to male characters (the latter with much more passion and attention to physicality than the former), and second, that scene with Mr. McKee, which, now that we re-read it, can only be a hook-up. What’s interesting to us about this revelation is this: if the Gatsby we know has been being viewed this whole time by someone who is head over heels "

"I hated it! I shouldn't have bothered finishing it till the end, but I did. I should have just skipped it and read the relevant notes online. The characters were ridiculous and unlikable. The events were not gripping and the style not to my taste. I honestly could not see why everyone else liked it. This is the only novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald I have ever read and I didn't like it at all. I can't judge an author after reading only one novel of his so I'm willing to give it a try an"
