Nope.

The clue isn't quite descriptive enough, I think.

@Lustig Andrei,
Right period, not Fitzgerald though. The author wrote very little, died tragically young in a car crash.

@izzythepush,
Had to do a little research for this -- never read the book.

The Day of the Locust

There is actually a character named Homer Simpson in the book.

@George,
So now you know a great bit of trivia. Donald Southerland played Homer Simpson in the 1975 film version.

@izzythepush,
Believe it or not, I had to read that book many, many years ago for a course in American literature; I remember absolutely nothing about it except the title.

@Lustig Andrei,
From what I remember not much happens anyway. There's a bit where they're singing in a barn and that's about it.

Alright then Lisa Simpson in the court of King Arthur.


Obviously that's bollocks.

@chai2,
Thanks I'll try, but I'm not promising anything.

He was looking for a meal, but everywhere's shut.

That's about as shocking as I can make it.
