Great quote! I've only read bits of Petronius, arbiter elegantiae, and I always think of Trimalchio in connection with Fitzgerald's suggested title for Gatsby, Trimalchio in West Egg. And glad that he went with something else!

Oh, ETA, I want to say that I'm in favor of collapsing the pre-modern categories.
