Literary Rejection
I can’t imagine how it must have felt for an all-time-great author like F Scott Fitzgerald to have had his short story, “Temperature”, rejected by a magazine in what was (not that he would know) to be the last year of his life (The Dominion Post, August 4, 2015).
Literary rejection, I’ve experienced, but not world-wide fame and reputation. It must come even harder for someone who tasted success in his lifetime.
With “Temperature” would he, I wonder, have taken advantage of self-publising if he’d been alive today?
Anyhow, his short story has now been published, widening his literary legacy.
