They are. I for one hate the style. Fitzgerald seems tone deaf about the number of multi syllabic words he uses in a sentence, as a result the rhythm becomes monotonous. I think people who are more visual in their reading like him.

Surprises me, as Fitzgerald has about the least monotonous prose of any author I've read. It's about as varied as Vonnegut, to me.

I don't really know what it means to read visually, but I read about of a quarter of Tender is the Night out loud to myself, which would be 'audio reading', if anything.
