"It came up so fast I didn’t have much time to get through as much of his writing as I would have liked. I read his biography and some correspondence. He was a fascinating man. So lucid, so hard to pin down because of all the illusions he seemed to live. I don’t think he could ever cope with not being young any more. He and Zelda engaged in frantic acting to create an illusion of youth."
