a Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald
Mar 09, 2019
" As it is in the South, in New York City the buildings have names. And as it is in Society, some names carry more import than others. Our destination for George Jean Nathan's cocktail party was a high-society building named the Royalton, which was a hotel and a residence, both." "Pound led us to the bar. A dark-haired mustached man wearing what appeared to be two thick, gray sweaters was saying goodbye to a pair of women I'd later know as Duff and Kitty. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, same as me, strikingly attractive, his face suntanned--from skiing, we'd learn--his hair mussed and curling onto his forehead, his dark eyes keen and brooding." " ' Critics are all a bunch of goddamned eunuchs,' said Hemingway." " ....poor Hadley, arriving at Villa America with only Bumby whole everyone knew that Hemingway, in Madrid for the moment, was carrying on with Pauline-----though we weren't certain yet whether Hadley knew." Ms. Fowler has written a truly evocative novel.
