Paul and Gordon are best friends through it all, but Gordon’s admission to Princeton’s prestigious graduate physics department threatens to take him away from their New York City adventures.F. SCOTT FITZGERALD SLEPT HERE explores the intimacy of friendships between men and the dynamics of unlikely match-ups. Paul and Gordon seem like opposites, Paul is a scruffy, white, girl-hungry, FTM poet exploring the limits of his new gender the way other people test drive cars.

While it seems like they couldn’t be less alike, the more we learn about Paul and Gordon, the more we find out that they both are struggling with the same question: How do I fit in?The answer for each of them will have to come from the strength of their friendship, and they look to each other for the answers to life’s toughest problems. The limits of their relationship are tested and it turns out that maybe the Ivy League really can destroy even the best of friends. F.
