Status Updates From Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

Clock Hemingway right away. Trying to be a man’s man. Compensating for not going to war? The Latin quarter being the place to be in Paris is funny. Hemingway did a number on Scott I guess. Throwing a tantrum over Zelda getting coffee and discussing art. The pain is really getting to her.

Down an ovary and now he wants to “continue his legacy” I hate that. I guess I never thought about gatsby’s reception. Failure at the start.

Heading to Paris in May 1924. A woman with a brain needs enrichment otherwise she goes crazy. She’s having an affair while he writes gatsby. Poetic. Love that we’re going to be blaming Hemingway

When it’s good, it’s good; when it’s bad, it’s bad. A beautiful little fool straight from Zelda. Even has to name his daughter after himself. Good for her for getting her own reviews out.

I also don’t care about stocks and investments. And as soon as the pressure gets on Scott starts to crack. A fur coat fixes everything

I know that I would kill it as a 20s socialite. Gotta be careful you don’t start believing your own act though. They’re drinking absinthe! It only Starts with tallulah Gene Bankhead. Feeling guilty he didn’t go to war?

Everyone description of someone seeing New York for the first time is magical. At. Patrick’s cathedral is a crazy venue to get. Interview with Ellis about first book and Zelda keeps interjecting. She can’t help be try to be a part of what’s going on. There is something to be said for “playing the part” in order to get famous.

Love starting at the sad ending and going back to the golden years. Skin-colored swimsuit, mistletoe pinned to the butt, stealing a streetcar. Love her. Good meet-cute with Scott. Love the flirtation. Breaking up with him to get him to focus on his work. Genius but sad.
