The Similarities between "Benjamin Button" and "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" - Blu-ray Forum

Interesting find by io9 on the similarities between this month's loose adaptation of "The Curious Case of Bejamin Button" and the 2004 novel "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" by Andrew Sean Greer (and on why they believe the latter would have made a better film).

I just assumed that that was where the story came from. I thought it was just renamed. I didn't realize it was from a Fitzgerald short story.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is 80 years older. You make it sound like it copied Max Tivoli.
