Scott Fitzgerald wrote it. Fitzgerald wanted praise for showing skills like those of James Joyce in \u003ci\u003eUlysses.\u003c\/i\u003e He set the table for a party to which no one came. No reviewers or interpreters of his novel until now have fully explained its structure, its individual chapter topics, biblical parodies, puns, games with numbers, and burlesques hidden in images. He drew from \u003ci\u003eThe Gospel According to John,\u003c\/i\u003e a 5th century apocryphal book (\u003ci\u003eThe Gospel of Nicodemus\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003e The Epistle of James, The Acts of the Apostles,\u003c\/i\u003e and legends of the saints in ways similar to Joyce's use of adventures in Homer's \u003ci\u003eThe Odyssey.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236426076504,"sku":"9780761826057","price":87.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761826057_b526b2db-89b8-49ed-9af7-636d25a20475.jpg?v=1769806843","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/f-scott-fitzgeralds-odyssey","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
