Fitzgerald & Hemingway

It’s no secret F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorite authors. He’s got that “it” factor everyone is looking for, a unique style (in the writing world, it’s called voice) that lets you read a line and say “aha! Yes, this is Fitzgerald.”

What’s particularly fascinating to me is his friendship with Hemingway. (The letters between them are delightful to read.) In terms of literary style, the two are night and day. Fitzgerald is form and Hemingway is function. Fitzgerald is “Shall I tell you a story?” and Hemingway is “Here’s what happened.”

I found myself wondering, what if Twitter were around when they were alive? What would they say? This is my best guess.

So what do you think? Did I capture their voices or would you recommend changes?

      Thank you! Don’t you wish we could hang out with them? Or maybe just watch them from our comfy corner with a cup of coffee/chai.
