13,946. UNIVERSITY OF CRINOLINE SLIPS

UNIVERSITY OF 
CRINOLINE SLIPS
There was a little man in the library
aiding and abetting the books. He
underlined and overscored.  He told
me once his name.
-
'I work here now, researching Zelda.
Nearly every day. The Fitzgeralds
had many problems, you see, and 
she'd gone mad from a hysterectomy.
Not one or two, she actually had 3!'
-
Matthew Bruccoli was the name, 
and I got to know him well on the 
Princeton train. One day after the
other, NYC to Princeton for the
Research Library, Scott and Zelda
Fitzgerald Collection.
