Paperback. Zustand: Good. Today F. Scott Fitzgerald is better known for his novels, but in his own time, his fame rested squarely on his prolific achievement as one of America's most gifted writers of stories and novellas.

Bruccoli, has assembled in one volume the full scope of Fitzgerald's best short fiction: forty-three sparkling masterpieces, ranging from such classic novellas as "The Rich Boy," "May Day," and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" to his commercial work for the Saturday Evening Post and its sister "slicks."

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The "colossal affair" that is Jay Gatsby's mansion, Owl Eyes, Wolfsheim and his "gonnegtions," West Egg, East Egg, the valley of ashes, Jordan Baker, and Daisy Faythey belong to all time as does the American classic in which they appear. But a classic belongs to its own time, too, and this meticulously compiled, handsomely designed and generously illustrated volume documents the social reality out of which The Great Gatsby grew and the cultural milieu in which F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote. It thus identifies for contemporary readers the crazes and events, the celebrities and the criminals, the music and dances and books, that the novel's first readers in 1925 would have immediately recognized. This invaluable companion to The Great Gatsby also examinesand illustrates with facsimiles of pages from Fitzgerald's handwritten drafts and revised typescriptsthe arduous process of composition that ultimately produced the book hailed by critic Gilbert Seldes as "vivid and glittering and entertaining. " Reviews and promotions as well as correspondence and comment from such literary figures as Edmund Wilson, Ernest Hemingway, Edith Wharton, and H. L. Mencken illuminate Gatsby's mostly favorable critical reception. Still, in the wake of the 1940s' Fitzgerald revival, as this volume's final chapter on the enduring reputation of The Great Gatsby shows, the novel has fulfilled Fitzgerald's boast that he wrote for "the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters ever afterward," as well as the moviemakers, play producers, choreographers, and composers. And all students of Fitzgerald and general readers will find new insights into what makes Gatsby great in this generously illustrated, engaging reference book's every chapter.…

Zustand: Good. Today, F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for his novels, but in his lifetime, his fame stemmed from his prolific achievement as one of America's most gifted (and best-paid) writers of stories and novellas. In The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Matthew J. Bruccoli, the country's premier Fitzgerald scholar and biographer, assembles a sparkling collection that encompasses the full scope of Fitzgerald's short fiction. The forty-three masterpieces range from early stories that capture the fashion of the times to later ones written after the author's fabled crack-up, which are sober reflections on his own youthful excesses. Included are classic novellas, such as The Rich Boy, May Day, and The Diamond as Big as the Ritz, as well as a remarkable body of work he wrote for the Saturday Evening Post and its sister slicks. These stories can be read as an autobiographical journal of a great writer's career, an experience deepened by the illuminating introductory headnotes that Matthew Bruccoli has written for each story, placing it in its literary and biographical context. Together, these forty-three stories compose a vivid picture of a lost era, but their brilliance is timeless. As Malcolm Cowley once wrote, Fitzgerald remains an exemplar and archetype, but not of the 1920s alone; in the end he represents the human spirit in one of its permanent forms. This essential collection is ample testament to that statement, and a monument to the genius of one of the great voices in the history of American literature.…
