The introduction compares reading Trimalchio to listening to music you know well, but with significant changes in the key and mechanics of the music. This is an apt comparison. As I stated in my review of Nick, I love The Great Gatsby. Rereading it for me is like singing along to my favorite song. However, I have to disagree with another statement in the introduction: Trimalchio is not a "separate and distinct work of art." The differences between Trimalchio and Gatsby are insufficient to render this anything more than a near-final draft, despite the sub-title mischaracterizing it as an "early version." Read this novel simply to witness and appreciate the ways in which Fitzgerald converted a fine work into one of the greatest novels in literature. ( )
