ABSTRACT
By now it is common knowledge that when Scott Fitzgerald met James Joyce at a Sylvia Beach dinner party during July of 1928 he threatened to jump out of the window in honor of Joyce’s genius and drew a picture in Miss Beach’s copy of The Great Gatsby showing himself kneeling beside the master who has a halo on and whom Miss Beach asserts Fitzgerald ‘worshipped.’ What is not so well known, however is the extent to which the idolater read and used the works of his idol.
