The author describes her father's "particular reverence" for F. Scott Fitzgerald and writes of her mother having sent a Fitzgerald biography to Bruce when he was in the army. Allusions to his works in the chapter include The Great Gatsby and The Far Side of Paradise, with Bechdel comparing her father's false image of himself to that of Gatsby.
