Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *With a new introduction by bestselling and iconic novelist Haruki Murakami* This edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s final unfinished novel is now restored to the original 1941 text, with updates by Fitzgerald scholar James L. W. West III. When F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he left behind an unfinished draft of this poignant novel, inspired by his own experience working in Hollywood as a screenwriter. Literary critic Edmund Wilson edited Fitzgerald’s notes and material to publish this text of The Last Tycoon in 1941. Now, this edition restores Wilson’s editorial work and includes an introduction from celebrated author Haruki Murakami. Set in Hollywood in the 1930s, The Last Tycoon tells the tragic story of a young film producer named Monroe Stahr. Exploring themes of ambition, power, and corruption, The Last Tycoon depicts Stahr’s struggle to balance his personal life and professional goals with the challenges of running a successful movie studio. Based on the career of real-life producer Irving Thalberg, the head of MGM who was known as Hollywood’s “boy wonder”, The Last Tycoon is a sharply observed and bittersweet exposé of the glittering excess of the Hollywood film industry in its prime.

Download or read book The Last of the Novelists written by Matthew Joseph Bruccoli and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-creating the author's intention from the manuscripts, this study shows that Fitzgerald regarded none of his material as final but, rather, as material toward a novel quite possibly about the American Dream--a respectful study of the American business hero. Mr. Bruccoli's transcription and analyses of the manuscripts and notes for the unfinished novel serve two related purposes: they enable us to gauge the state of F. Scott Fitzgerald's work-in-progress at the time of his death and thereby to reassess this work properly. Examination of Fitzgerald's drafts reveal that he regarded none of this material as finished. There are no final drafts--only latest working drafts. After Chapter One there are no chapters, and even this is marked for rewrite. And Fitzgerald's undated last outline provides only topics or ideas for the thirteen unwritten episodes. The Last Tycoon has always been read as a Hollywood novel--a novel about the movies. It is far from certain that the title was final, but it is clear that Fitzgerald conceived Monroe Stahr as a "tycoon." Fitzgerald's tentative title "The Love of the Last Tycoon: A Western" is instructive: it connects Stahr with all the other poor boys who went West to seek their fortunes. "I am the last of the novelists for a long time now," Fitzgerald wrote in a note for The Last Tycoon. His statement does not refer to technique or to form, Mr. Bruccoli claims; it can be understood only in terms of theme and character. Stahr exemplifies Fitzgerald's belief in the American Dream--decency, honor, courage, responsibility, and the possibilities of the American life--and Fitzgerald regarded himself as the last of the American novelists writing on this great theme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1930s. The Golden Age of Hollywood. F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece about the movie industry. The tragedy of a man obsessed. Monroe Stahr (loosely based on legendary producer Irving Thalberg) is in a fight with Pat Brady (loosely based on movie mogul Louis B. Mayer) over artistic control of his movies. The "Boy Wonder" is only 36 and the most celebrated producer in Hollywood, but already the corporate men are ready to throw him over if he doesn't turn a profit. In a world where money is God, art is seldom discussed. When Stahr decides to make his masterpiece, the "Shakespeare Project," as a tribute to his dead wife, knowing full well it will lose money, Brady and the Money Men try to bring him down. They stand a good chance. Stahr has a bad heart from a childhood illness. His doctor tells him if he doesn't slow down, he'll be "dead in six months." But Stahr is a man obsessed—with movies, with illusion, with memories of his dead wife, with a mysterious, enigmatic woman (Kathleen Moore) whom he met on the back lot after an earthquake nearly destroyed his studio. It's been years since he's cared about another woman. He pursues her, like his precious "Project," without regard to consequences. All around him are people who love and want to protect him—especially Cecelia Brady (Pat Brady's daughter), who takes us on a journey of love into the literal and metaphorical heart of a great man.

Book excerpt: The Hollywood of the 1930s is a constantly spinning Ferris wheel of business, alcohol, and promiscuity – and a complete lack of morals. Film mogul Monroe Stahr's mode outwardly reflects the industry; he is a cynical workaholic who rarely leaves the studio before eleven o'clock. One evening, a mysterious woman stands before him and smiles. It is the beginning of a passionate, yet hopeless, love story. The seduction scene is like something out of one of Stahr's films, and thereafter the story unfolds frame by frame – observed by Cecilia, daughter of Stahr's business partner: a girl who has carefully studied the classic narrative techniques of film. The Last Tycoon takes place during the extravagant heyday of Hollywood. This posthumous novel, never completed, became F. Scott Fitzgerald's final, poignant farewell to the great American dream. F. SCOTT FITZGERALD [1896-1940] was an American author, born in St. Paul, Minnesota. His legendary marriage to Zelda Montgomery, along with their acquaintances with notable figures such as Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, and their lifestyle in 1920s Paris, has become iconic. A master of the short story genre, it is logical that his most famous novel is also his shortest: The Great Gatsby [1925].
