The Political Development of F. Scott Fitzgerald
No full textThe image of the frivolous playboy clings to F. Scott Fitzgerald's reputation like a barnacle on a ship. He helped build the image himself, of course, but ita's a false one, or partially false at any rate. Most of the time Fitzgerald was a serious, committed artist. Yet people persist in thinking of him as an artist in spite of himself, a Pooh Bear of remarkable talent but lamentably little brain.</jats:p

Existence and stability of multiple spot solutions for the Gray-Scott model in R^2$
No full textExistence and Stability of Multiple Spot Solutions for the Gray-Scott Model in In this paper, we rigorously
prove the existence and stability of multiple spot patterns for the Gray-Scott system in a two dimensional domain
which are far from
spatial homogeneity.
The Green's function and its derivatives
together with two nonlocal eigenvalue problems
both play a major role in the analysis.
We establish a threshold behavior for stability:
If a certain inequality for the parameters holds
then we get stability, otherwise we get instability of multiple spot solutions.
The exact asymptotics of the critical thresholds are obtained
Landscape with a Tragic Hero: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Trimalchio
No full textDrawing attention to both characters and landscapes, this essay proposes a reading
of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Trimalchio that assesses its differences from and similarities
to The Great Gatsby. In the first part of the essay a comparison between the
two novels shows that the behavior and features of Jay Gatsby in Trimalchio are
borrowed from Petronius’s Trimalchio and Homer’s Odysseus. As a consequence,
the first Jay Gatsby turns out to be a more vulgar and astute version of his second
and more successful incarnation; he is, nevertheless, a coherent persona. We have
ultimately two Gatsbys and, therefore, two different novels. In spite of that, these
two texts share the same literary landscape, of which Fitzgerald was evidently
sure from the very beginning of his composition process. The second part of the
essay focuses on the ways in which Fitzgerald consciously grafted into Gatsby’s
American landscape the imperialistic vision exposed in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of
Darkness. In this respect, the opposition Fitzgerald—through his narrator Nick
Carraway—established between the East and Midwest of the USA also allows
for a surprising but compelling connection with David Foster Wallace, an author
strongly anchored in his Midwestern point of view
