Great article on the centennial of FSF's TALES OF THE JAZZ AGE (originally published Sept 22 1922... and yes, sad to say, we somehow missed it last Thursday---a teaching day!) But a great article nonetheless! (especially for the National Review)

Instead of shoehorning Fitzgerald into the present, we should let Fitzgerald speak to us from the past.#BOTD 24 September 1896, Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. Happy 126th birthday to our only, our dearest Scott! #sowebeaton #FScottFitzgerald
A VERY SPECIAL INVITATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE BEAUTIFUL (and those who are damned):
Please join us on the evening of Saturday, September 24, 2022, to celebrate F. Scott Fitzgerald's 126th birthday with a discussion of The Beautiful and Damned, often referred to as Fitzgerald's "other" novel. Special guests for our discussion are Fitzgerald scholars William Blazek, Kirk Curnutt, and David W. Ullrich, editors of the forthcoming collection of new essays, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned: New Critical Essays. This event will be held virtually.
