I took my time to savor this early version of The Great Gatsby. It was revealing to read an early version of the story and see what Fitzgerald kept, moved around, and jettisoned. While I won't be throwing my copy of The Great Gatsby away, I definitely felt like I got to know the characters better by seeing them in a rougher version. As an appendix to The Great Gatsby, Trimalchio is phenomenal.

No lo encontre tan distinto a El Gran Gatsby...

Come sempre, inarrivabile.

About Us . . . as a Society.

This was interesting, but probably only to an avid Fitzgerald fan. The Great Gatsby is definitely superior.

The Great Gatsby is a favorite book of mine. This is told from a different POV. It was what was the big change Scott's editor (Max Perkins) made, which made it into a classic. This is an interesting read if you want to see the original manuscript.

Consider this a behind-the-scenes look at “The Great Gatsby.” The novels differ significantly, though the central plot is the same. “Trimalchio” gives a deeper back story of each character, which helps me understand everyone’s behavior in “Gatsby.” If you love “Gatsby,” you have to read “Trimalchio.” I’ve read “Gatsby” repeatedly, but I’ve always still had questions, and “Trimalchio” answers some of them.

TRIMALCION - F. SCOTT. FITZGERALD


Me convencí de releerlo después de Santi me contara lo que Hemingway decía de Fitzgerald.
Él no pensaba, su gracia era la del colibrí, su propio vuelo. “No sabe adonde va, no sabe cómo vuela, no sabe cuándo es tiempo de migrar. Pero nadie vuela como el”

Que tremenda historia de amor y de amistad. Que final triste, pero que deja un mensaje. Prefiero el título Trimalción, que encierra todo lo que cuenta, al Gran Gatsby.

A masterpiece! Read it if you want to kmon Gatsby deeply.

Vale la pena conocer la historia de Gatsby antes de que fuera editado, sin duda alguna me gustó

It was really interesting to see the early version of Gatsby and read in the introduction how to find the differences between this and the final version. Of course it's hard to read the book fresh, since I already know what will happen next, but a great look at the publishing and editing process.
