To all the gentilshommes who liked my mini-memoir ‘The Clown Fries an Egg’ I want to wish a very happy “F. Scott Fitzgerald’s First Novel Published” Day. On this date in 1920 Fitzgerald’s “This Side of Paradise” was published to wide acclaim. My readers make me feel just as famous:
Mike Weakley; Gabriel Romero Sr.; Chris Twiford; Leo Acton; Alberto Ramirez; Mike Johnson; Andrew Jackson; Ron Butler; Conrad Thiart; Bruce Rechtsteiner; Kenneth L Stallings; Bruce Veldhuisen; Alex Janney; Anna Lima; Mary Pat Cooney; Jim Aakhus; Jane Caligiuri; Linda Bamonte; Patti Jo Estes Williams; and the indispensable David Orr.
“Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.”
― Hermann Hesse
