F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “List of Troubles” (from his Notebooks)—
List of troubles
- Heart burn
- Eczema
- Piles
- Flu
- Night sweats
- Alcoholism
- Infected Nose
- Insomnia
- Ruined Nerves
- Chronic Cough
- Aching teeth
- Shortness of Breath
- Falling Hair
- Cramps in Feet
- Tingling Feet
- Constipation
- Cirocis of the liver
- Stomach ulcers
- Depression and Melancholia
That’s the list of an 80-year-old man- it’s sad that he probably wrote that in his early 40’s.
My question is, how did Zelda not make the list?
