Book excerpt: Often seen as a mirroring the contemporary movement of American history itself, Scott Fitzgerald's literary life was a roller-coaster ride from early success in the 1920s to apparent oblivion by the end of the 1930s. This study attempts to account for such a problematic career by focusing on Fitzgerald's struggle to sustain a perilous balancing act between his commitment to a totally involving life on the one hand, and his parallel commitment to the serious business of art on the other.

Download or read book Max Perkins Editor of Genius written by A. Scott Berg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Book Award winner from Pulitzer Prize-winning author A. Scott Berg is now celebrating its 40th anniversary. The talents he nurtured were known worldwide: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and numerous others. But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as editor but also as critic, career manager, moneylender, psychoanalyst, father-confessor, and friend. This outstanding biography, a winner of the National Book Award, is the first to explore the fascinating life of this genius editor extraordinare—in both the professional and personal domains. It tells not only of Perkins’s stormy marriage, endearing eccentricities, and secret twenty-five-year romance with Elizabeth Lemmon, but also of his intensely intimate relationships with the leading literary lights of the twentieth century. It is, in the words of Newsweek, “an admirable biography of a wholly admirable man.” The basis for the Major Motion Picture Genius, Starring Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, and Jude Law.

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.

Download or read book The Great Gatsby The Diamond as Big as the Ritz written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published by Collector's Library. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Gatsby has long been celebrated as the archetypal American novel, and its influence on later writers from J.D. Salinger to John OHara cannot be overestimated. Fitzgerald looks deeply into himself and his milieu to create the story of James Gatz, a self-educated nobody from Kentucky who has amassed a fortune and adopted the persona of Jay Gatsby, an Oxford-educated man about town, for the sole purpose of winning back the heart of Daisy, the woman he loved in his youth. Daisy is now married to Tom Buchanan a brutal, ignorant racist who embodies the corruption that can come with unlimited wealth. As Gatsby, Daisy and Tom play out the drama in a small Long Island town, Fitzgerald makes it clear that life is meaningless when it is based on money and glamour at the expense of the solid American values of self-reliance and hard work.
