Reading: Tender is the Night; Fool

I read Tender is the Night in my early 20s and revisited lately. I'm sure that much of this book was lost upon me the first time; it's an excellent novel to revisit in your mid 30s. Fitzgerald's prose is legendary and I enjoyed this story more than Gatsby. A classic.


I also finished the Moore 'cannon' with Fool. Interesting story: The telling of King Lear through the eyes of Pocket, Lear's fool. Up there with The Stupidest Angel and Lamb, I enjoyed Fool and loved this impression of Moore after the disappointing "You Suck".
