What can I say? I never got around to it! And since opinions on this novel are mixed, anyway . . . but I recently read Laing's 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘤𝘩𝘰 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 , so that will add a fresh take on Fitzgerald's motives (and addictions)!

A quotation from Jean Kerr

SYDNEY: A lot of writers drink. Some drink before they write and some drink after they write. The ones that concern me are the ones who drink instead of writing. Even though a number of people have tried, no on has yet found a way to drink for a living.

Jean Kerr (1922-2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
Poor Richard, Act 1 (1965)

Came across this while deep-diving into the background of General Ulysses S. Grant after he was prominently mentioned in a book I’m reading about American #capitalism and the #IndustrialRevolution:

“a 1978 Department of Health, Education and Welfare report of #alcoholism concludes that alcohol is ‘indisputably involved’ in the cause of several types of cancer. Among these are "cancers of the mouth and pharynx, larynx . . ."
