During the centennial of The Great Gatsby, it is fitting that the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers clash in Croke Park in Week 4 of the NFL.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born in Saint Paul, MN, was a football fanatic.

A 🧵 on Fitzgerald's love of American Football.

Jake Gyllenhaal reading ‘The Great Gatsby' is revelatory, in particular his ability to bring out the desperate heat of the summer.

“Hot!” said the conductor to familiar faces. “Some weather!… Hot!… Hot!… Hot!… Is it hot enough for you? Is it hot? Is it… ?”
