Laughably EPIC
Although this is only roughly a third finished in its planned length - the contents here are very much complete and the work of an artistic god. This is more mature and refined, less flamboyantly romantic than gatsby but it still retains fitzs characteristic touch - parts of it are influenced by Hemingway you can see in the style although it creeps up and quickly fades back - this work is simply amazing - puts the vast majority of what passes as contemporary literature to shame - everything from his style to the light philosophical musings to the epic scene building - get this and pay homage to the best there ever was that picked up a pen - you won’t regret it
