I’d have never read F. Scott Fitzgerald of my own volition. Too white. Too male. Too traditional. But I took a comparative literature course during my three uneventful semesters at Case Western Reserve University that covered the big hits by F. Scott and Hemingway. Having paid for this abuse I decided to just suck it up and see what I could get out of the experience.
