Keats and Fitzgerald, together at last …

… ‘Bright Star, Green Light’ Review: Dual Vision. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Mr. Bate … draws our attention to those striking moments in Fitzgerald’s work in which the very fabric of the American writer’s imagination flashes “Keatzian” (distractingly, Mr. Bate relies on Fitzgerald’s idiosyncratic spelling throughout his book). Think of the green light across the bay the love-stricken Jay Gatsby saw burning all night, next to Daisy Buchanan’s house.
