Bruccoli
Working with the
great man,
larger than life,
could be like living
in Los Angeles;
you might have
a nice house
on a quiet street
with good neighbors,
but you knew
at any time,
there could be a
drive-by shooting.
[Dedicated to my former boss, Dr. Matthew Bruccoli, leading expert on F. Scott Fitzgerald and several other authors of his age, who helped found the Dictionary of Literary Biography.]
