@i_am_mill_i_am in all seriousness, the entire major works of F Scott Fitzgerald tip into public domain in the next couple years and I am DREADING IT. already getting pitches of like, Great Gatsby as dogs in a graphic novel for kids coping with divorce, etc. Nightmarish.

Flappers and Philosophers: Stories

F. Scott Fitzgerald

@kellybarnhill Agree on all points. And never forget: F. Scott Fitzgerald died with only a few hundred copies of Great Gatsby sold. Then it went on to be one of the backlist best sellers of the century! There are infinity stories of publishing, money, and not going in forecast ways.

if anyone wants to talk with me about George Gissing's 1891 The New Grub Street, holler. I've been meaning to read it for... ten years? Finally did via last summer's new @NaxosAudioBooks truly stupendously delightful version. https://t.co/RMPI16appZ

for years people are like elena ferrante, elena ferrante! So I tried: The Lost Daughter, it is just trash. Did a man write it? Dunno, but the plot is: Ex-wife goes to the beach to be a psycho, think about her nubile daughters' breasts, and also how great their dad was...

Ulysses

James Joyce

A woman could never have written James Joyce's Ulysses because 140 gate-keepers would have told her that there's no likable character and people come to books to make friends. (Yes I know written isn't published but I bet there are one zillion women's Ulysses in garbage dumps.)

@DanielTorday @MsShade Came here to also say Lucky Jim, but also, much darker, Shirley Jackson Hangsaman, think it was out of print for a while but it's incredible on characters of college types and girl dorm-life, yes mid-century but so much still relevant
