- Simon_Called_Peter abstract "Simon Called Peter is a novel by Robert Keable (1887–1927) which was a best-seller in 1921. The title is a reference to Simon Peter the apostle and first Pope of the Catholic Church.In 1921 it was met with astonishing success, and its runaway popularity won Keable a level of celebrity. The book reportedly sold over 600,000 copies during the 1920s, reaching a 66th edition by 1922. A largely autobiographical work, Simon Called Peter is the tale of a priest, Peter Graham, who has an affair in wartime France with a nurse named Julie. The title character almost abandons his faith for love, but experiences a direct revelation of Christ while watching a Catholic mass and is given up by his lover, who sees his sincerity. The book was controversial at its introduction due to its sexual and religious content;It was made into a play in 1924 by Jules Eckert Goodman and Edward Knoblock; which had a short run on Broadway.This book is referred to in The Great Gatsby. Nick Carraway, the narrator, reads a chapter and claims that \"either it was terrible stuff or the whisky distorted things, because it didn't make any sense to me.\"The novel was followed by a sequel, Recompense, published in 1924, which was made into a 1925 motion picture with the same title, directed by Harry Beaumont.".
