Reviewing The Notebooks of F. Scott Fitzgerald in these pages forty-five years ago, Gore Vidal called him a “bold chronicler of girls who kissed.”1 Apart from the unwarranted condescension, the point was fair enough. Fitzgerald wrote frequently and fervently about boys dreaming of kissing a girl or recollecting the thrill of it, or relinquishing the hope of it, or, upon achieving it, asking themselves, “Had she been moved?… What measure of enjoyment had she taken in his kisses?

In the spring of 1940, F. Scott Fitzgerald was worried about “The Great Gatsby.” It had been fifteen years since the novel was published, and the author had little to show for it. “My God I am a forgotten man,” Fitzgerald wrote to his wife, Zelda. “Gatsby had to be taken out of the Modern Library because it didn’t sell, which was a blow.” Two months later, in a letter to Maxwell Perkins, his longtime editor at Scribner’s, Fitzgerald wondered whether a cheap paperback reprint might “keep Gatsby i

In June 1918, Fitzgerald was on the move. He went with the 9th Division to Camp Sheridan, a mobilization camp just outside Montgomery, Alabama. By day, his brigade was busy building new units, training recruits and draftees and preparing to ship overseas to the Western Front – typical for many of the newly-activated units of the American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.). By night, young officers found themselves with time on their hands to explore Montgomery and take in the social life. For Fitzge
