The often-remarked incoherence of the text becomes more legible when read in terms of psychological trauma instead of the vague idea of madness. At the literal center of the novel in chapter 4 are traces of an unrepresented trauma, which doubles and is screened by an explicitly described trauma in chapter 1, and whose repercussions affect the main character Janno throughout the novel. The narrative form itself exhibits features associated with posttraumatic experience, such as the centrality of death, the splitting of the self, the distortion of temporality, and the shattering of witness seen in failures of memory and language. Yet far from merely recording psychosis, the narrative frame consciously establishes a stabilizing architecture for these posttraumatic traits, adapting a clear structure derived from biblical motifs and decentering the psychiatrists represented in the manuscript. In Caesar's Things, Zelda Fitzgerald represents an unresolved wound to the psyche but indicates hope of healing in a future redemption.","PeriodicalId":40217,"journal":{"name":"F Scott Fitzgerald Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"121 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43708337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The body looms large in such an attempt as it marks a border between self and other, and Alabama Beggs Knight's desire to control and shape her body is a metaphor for control over her own life. Likewise, Zelda Fitzgerald's dense and highly metaphorical style, which has often been criticized as excessively verbose and labored and which can make for difficult reading, is an attempt to work on the body of her text, giving the resisting material of language a shape and rhythm of her own. This is a long and difficult process that confronts the artist, ballet dancer, or writer, with the ever-threatening dissolution of self and other, and the subsequent collapse of meaning. Relying on Julia Kristeva's theory of the abject, this article shows how the body's turn from object to abject is a necessary and difficult step toward creation and marks Alabama's and Zelda Fitzgerald's progressive inscriptions as subjects acknowledging \"lack\" as constitutive of language and self. However, conveying this lack and negotiating the fraught relationship between self and other remains a demanding and ongoing challenge and may account for the sometimes missed encounter of this very personal book with its readers.","PeriodicalId":40217,"journal":{"name":"F Scott Fitzgerald Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"102 - 120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45960965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, he designed within the novel's elegant prose a suppressed meaning, one that has been overlooked in critical discourse since the book's publication in 1925. Initially, The Great Gatsby was believed to be a period piece set in a decadent \"Roaring Twenties\" that glorified adultery, alcohol, and wealth. From the 1940s on, its themes were defined as more universal and timeless, emphasizing the gap between romance and reality and the illusory nature of the American Dream. Although critics for the past twenty-five years or so have refocused on period concerns, with the exception of the work of James H. Meredith, Keith Gandal, and a handful of others, the military background of the plot has been taken for granted. This article argues that swimming beneath the surface story of Jay Gatsby's pursuit of the golden girl lies a complex pattern of language and imagery that suggests a different central message behind the novel, one that offers a new way of understanding the evasions of narrator Nick Carraway that have long been debated. As this article demonstrates, The Great Gatsby contains multiple layers of commentary, all related to a single world-altering event: The Great War and the suffering of the soldiers who fought it.","PeriodicalId":40217,"journal":{"name":"F Scott Fitzgerald Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"207 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44238797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night? An \"Afro-European,\" Peterson is dead in a Paris hotel room in 1925, but how that death signifies in a wider circumference of American racial issues and attitudes deserves exploration. Scholars and readers need to probe Fitzgerald's racial imaginary, even when we sense he is less centrally engaged by this key subject than we might be in our ideological climate. This article positions the Jules Peterson portrayal as a test case in examining Fitzgerald's narrative choices in his fourth novel. In his impulses, Fitzgerald recreated the tensions in the American popular culture at large with regard to the consumption of racialized sexual images in early modernism. Toni Morrison's analysis in Playing in the Dark depicts race and blackness in American fiction as composed of \"the associative language of dread and love that accompanies blackness.\" Applying Morrison, the argument here is not as centered on Fitzgerald's \"views on race,\" however they may be interpreted with evidence from his own era. Rather it is concerned with his conscious and unconscious representations of a racialized fictional American imaginary that dictates repetitive usage of color and thus influences our readings of Tender Is the Night. Jules Peterson is the bold summoning of a troubled emblem from Fitzgerald's racial and gendered imagination, rendering possibilities and nightmares that burst the bounds of his major novel.","PeriodicalId":40217,"journal":{"name":"F Scott Fitzgerald Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"185 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44380649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
