F. Scott Fitzgerald Does Othello

In honor of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s birthday a couple days ago, the Paris Review posted some audio clips of him reading passages from Keats and Shakespeare.

“While he may not recite like a trained Shakespearean, his reading is clear, emotive, and confident,” writes Sadie Stein.

(And hey, to give Fitzgerald his full due, not even today’s trained Shakespeareans sound like the original Shakespeareans.)
