Riassunto

Scott Fitzgerald is the fascinating life of F. Scott Fitzgerald from his early years in St. Paul and at Princeton, to New York in the '20s, the French Riviera, Baltimore, and finally Hollywood. Andrew Turnbull tells the story behind Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, revised and finally published when he was twenty-four, making him instantly famous, and of his tender love affair with Zelda Sayre, from their glittering early life to the years Zelda spent in and out of sanitariums. Turnbull's personal relationship with Fitzgerald and the hundreds of interviews with those who knew him capture the dramatic, tragic story of one of America's most enduring authors whose works include such classics as Tender Is the Night, This Side of Paradise, and The Great Gatsby.

Product Description:

Revealing and unusual, Scott Fitzgerald follows the fascinating life of one of America's most enduring authors, from his early years in St. Paul and at Princeton to New York in the twenties, the French Riviera, Baltimore, and finally Hollywood. Andrew Turnbull tells the story behind F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, revised and finally published when he was twenty-four, making him instantly famous, and his tender love affair with Zelda Sayre, from their glittering early life to the years Zelda spent in and out of sanatoriums. A literary generation, too, comes alive, including Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson, the Murphys, and Edith Wharton. Fitzgerald lived on Turnbull's family estate in Baltimore in the early 1930s and there befriended young Andrew, then age eleven. Turnbull's personal relationship with Fitzgerald and the hundreds of interviews with those who knew him elegantly capture the dramatic, tragic story of F. Scott and the glow and pathos of his flamboyant life.
