Fitzgerald is just being ridiculously drunk again. After the Princeton game, they were going home in his Buick car driven by his chauffer and he was so drunk, he insisted that they had passed the turn when they were just coming upon it. All I can say is that you have to be pretty drunk not know the road to your house because you drive it pretty much every day. Fitzgerald and Zelda's relationship troubles me. They should just separate because they just sound like they are complete opposites and their personalities are driving them apart anyway.
I didn't like the chapter that told how Hemingway had an affair. It proves that he is shallow and thinks too much about sex like any man. Men are too visual and they are weak. If a young attractive female makes more than one pass at a male, he will go after her without thinking 95% of the time. I guess they think it is irresistible and their brain stops functioning. Even though he loves his wife and she is a good match for him, he can't resist a female wanting him. It's despicable.
On a side note, I googled "lesbians in France in the 1920s" and it said that lesbianism, affairs, and drinking/partying were big in that time period, so I guess Hemingway was "cool" in his day.
