"Both men did of course dramatize them-selves endlessly. They loved, as Bruccoli re-minds us, 'to act out their own mytholo-gies. One played the ruined genius, the other played the titan.' Bruccoli sorts out the play-acting for us. . . . Both Scott and Ernest cared passionately for their profession. Be-cause they also cared about each other, each had a keen awareness of the other's talents and shortcomings, praising the former and seeking to correct the latter. . . . It is this kind of technical comment rather than the 'try-ing to walk over each other with cleats on' (in Scott's phrase) that makes Matthew Bruc-coli's latest contribution so useful and so welcome to all who care about the writer's craft."--"Christian Science Monitor"

Not only does it set the record straight with respect to names, places and dates, but it also provides psychological profiles of two of America's greatest writers. In the past, the relationship has been mythologised. Things that never happened have been printed as facts. What did happen has been distorted. Hemingway is the only source for some of the most widely repeated anecdotes about Fitzgerald. ***Mr Bruccoli conducts a careful re-examination of their correspondence as he traces the pattern that ran through both their friendship and their estrangement. Fitzgerald always deferred to Hemingway, partly out of respect for his literary abilities and partly because he stood in awe of Hemingway's reputation as an athlete and as a war hero. And Fitzgerald's adulation suited Hemingway, for he needed very much to dominate. ***"Here at last is the true story of their peculiar friendship." ' [New York Times] Quote and review quote from inside front of jacket blurb. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 2482
