we spent a lot of time talking about f scott fitzgerald. the kind of subjects they wrote about, compare what readers learned about america from this time frame from reading either of them. >> fitzgerald wrote more directly of the american scene in terms of social commentary. the classic american novels some would argue is fitzgerald's the great gatsby and the idea of the lost american dream and attempt to retain that dream. hemingway's work focused on an american terrain in michigan, many of those early stories. the later works also pick up on american germain as well but in terms of the relationship it was a real numerate of relationship and they learn from each other. early on fitzgerald was very influential on hemingway's style. the great gatsby, a narrative viewpoint of hemingway -- into the voice of j. collins. >> are you familiar with the book the caller asked about? >> yes. scott donaldson's book is a very fine book. everybody likes to talk about the relationship between these two very colorful characters. it is a book that stands up

one took on directly scott fitzgerald and then it was later removed. maybe i can hear something about the story as to why the indictment of scott fitzgerald in that story was removed. and secondly, maybe it would be interesting to find out why hemingway, himself, in two of his letters, stated that his favorite short story of all of his short stories, was a clean, well-lighted place, which is an amazingly short, short story for hemingway, but a very, very eccentric one in many ways. vermaybe i can find out more. i appreciate your show very mu much. >> thank you for watching. susan beegle, the first one was on the fitzgerald criticism and the snows of kilimanjaro. >> like many short stories, it made its first appearance in magazine form and then was later collected. in its original magazine appearance, he did refer to poor scott fitzgerald and made a very famous crack about fitzgerald's fascination with the rich. fitzgerald saying that the very rich are different from you and me and hemingway responding yes, they have more money. so, when hemingway's edi

look, there's a great saying by s scott fitzgerald, i hate careless people and sue to make an accident. there's been some careless people here, there have been the republicans who said during the bush 43 years, deficits don't matter. we could name some of them on a competing cable network, but we're not going to. that was a big mistake. there were the democrats who said we could spend our way out of the recession, that turned out not to be true. we've got to get some grown-ups here, what i'm looking for here is grown-ups, not divine government, but grownup government. where the heck have the grown-ups gone? >> and he becomes a grownup, he becomes a grownup and they do a commercial about him, throwing granny off a cliff. >> and here is what ben is talking about-- >> he's trying, very, very hard and said if i could help one out of many. >> last word on this from adam. >> one of the grownup discussion points there needs to be revenue in any compromise that happens. that's not an ideological point, we need tax toss balance the budget. now, what-- >> start difficulting first. >> listen we n
