Daddy quotes Logic, Mommy quotes Alice, I name the Book.

I do have some occasionally useful bits of information learned at the parental knee...Daddy loved to declaim very seriously, "that all men are liars. Therefore Solomon was a liar. Therefore all men are not liars. Therefore, Solomon was not a liar. Therefore what Solomon said was true. Therefore all men are liars. Therefore..."
Scottie Fitzgerald Smith
21 August 1973

This quote is from the Foreword of F. SCOTT & ZELDA FITZGERALD Bits of Paradise.
But the link will get you to  the collected papers of Scott & Zelda's only child.


Twelve of the Bits were written by Scott; nine were written by Zelda.
Our Own Movie Queen was written by both of Scottie's parents in 1925.

Ms. Smith also quotes a letter from her mother:

Your generation was the last to bear witness to the grace and gala of those days of the doctrine of free will.

The twenty-two "Bits of Paradise" had originally been published in magazines or journals
but were not anthologized until 1974.

Two of Scott's stories were published post-humously, including Dearly Beloved–
his only story with significant Negro characters.

All of Zelda's were published between
1929 and 1932, including what you see below.

Naturally, the reference to Tweedledum & Tweedledee caught my eye but the overwhelming surrealistic imagery made my brain dance across the page, especially
the image of sunlight transforming asparagus into a xylophone.
