Thanks, Neil; fascinating reading. I bought Arnold Samuelson's book decades ago, and it's worth picking up if one finds it. There's another book by a would-be, wayward, Depression-era writer who meets Papa, but its title and author elude me at the moment. It was published by a small company and it has grammar errors galore, so I didn't bother. I read it, in all places, at a bed and breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida. The place is called "Hemingway House."

from NY Times April 19, 1925-- "With sensitive insight and keen psychological observation, Fitzgerald discloses in these people a meanness of spirit, carelessness and absence of loyalties. He cannot hate them, for they are dumb in their insensate selfishness, and only to be pitied. The philosopher of the flapper has escaped the mordant, but he has turned grave. A curious book, a mystical, glamourous story of today. It takes a deeper cut at life than hitherto has been enjoyed by Mr. Fitzgerald. He writes well-he always has-for he writes naturally, and his sense of form is becoming perfected." https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/12/24/specials/fitzgerald-gatsby.html?_r=1

Can't imagine the Times being profound about anything happening now.
