"Pearce’s steadfast presence in the film allows Fitzgerald to feel fully realized enough for the two characters interacting with him to grow in their interactions with him. It’s small, but still satisfying and integral, role."

This Side of Paradise, a musical, makes its debut at the New York Theater Festival this July. The role of Amory Blaine - "introspective and self-absorbed son of a wealthy family, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald" - has already been cast. playbill.com/job/actors-s...

Two different political views on American identity: A nation of immigrants, or a nation of settlers and frontiers people, with the Irish caught in the middle. F. Scott Fitzgerald identified as a settler with a reference in The Great Gatsby. www.irishtimes.com/podcasts/ins...

Easily my favorite story I've ever written. On Croke Park in Dublin, its place in Irish culture and history, the wonderful sport of hurling—and oh yeah, the NFL being played there this weekend. www.si.com/nfl/steelers...

During the centennial of The Great Gatsby, it is fitting that the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers clash in Croke Park in Week 4 of the NFL. F. Scott Fitzgerald, born in Saint Paul, MN, was a football fanatic. A 🧵 on Fitzgerald's love of American Football. #Steelers #Vikings
