The words, then, are not addressed to Hemingway but to the readers of the story. Hemingway, however, connected himself to “The Rich Boy” in August 1936, ten years after Fitzgerald’s story was published in Red-book magazine. In Hemingway’s short story “The Snows of Kilimanjaro,” the narrator is a dying writer named Harry, who is presented as remembering “poor Scott Fitzgerald” and “his romantic awe” of the rich. Harry remembers that “someone” had said of the rich, “Yes, they have more money.” Note that Fitzgerald’s statement about the rich and Hemingway’s reply are fictional and appear in two different short stories published a decade apart. Again, and contrary to popular belief, the remarks were not part of an actual conversation between the two authors. After “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” came out, Fitzgerald wrote Hemingway an angry and sad letter, asking the author not to mention him again in his fiction. In reprints of Hemingway’s story, the character Scott Fitzgerald became Julian.
