My English teacher (high school) once told us that story about The Angry Raisins, but she said “Raisin,” and told us that it was a friend of hers who found the book being sold that way in Japan. So I guess this could be one of those urban legends that are true, but adopted into one’s own experiences. I never forgot it, and thus just wrote about it.

I could not have imagined reading anything having to do with Gatsby under a title containing “West Egg.” Bleh.

Thanks for pointing it out, Malcolm. Angry Raisins does raise wonderful possibilities …

The notion of angry raisins offers wonderful opportunities, as in Kellogg’s new hot cereal Angry Raisin Bran – it keeps you regular with a vengeance.

Okay, I obviously started drinking Scotch way too early today and have digressed sharply from the intent of the post. :-(
