Scott Fitzgerald, John Cheever: A Biography, Archibald MacLeish: An American Life, winner of the 1993 Ambassador Book Award, Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald: The Rise and Fall of a Literary Friendship, which has been translated into seven languages, Edwin Arlington Robinson: A Poet's Life, named the best biography of the year by Contemporary Poetry Forum, Fitzgerald and Hemingway: Works and Days, & Death of a Rebel: The Charlie Fenton Story. He explores his experiences as a biographer, as well as those of others in the field, in The Impossible Craft: Literary Biography. Donaldson published many articles on American literature and culture and edited a number of books. Derived from a Kirkus review: A tidy history of the literary rivalry and oft-fractured friendship between Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Donaldson, begins with an introduction to his subjects" childhoods and early romances that attempts to draw parallels between the two men. Donaldson delineates the origins of the men's friendship amidst the snappy decadence of the American expatriate community in 1920s Paris. With their world populated by the likes of Gertrude Stein, John Dos Passos, Archibald MacLeish, and the cream of the Parisian social scene, Hemingway and Fitzgerald moved, frolicked, and fought in the limelight both of their private social circles and a scrutinizing public eye. The many fracases the two men found themselves in provided the men with ample opportunities either to realign themselves as friends in mutual support or to distance themselves from each other. The friendship floundered over the question of reputation.

The friendship started in Paris and the French Riviera where the more famous Fitzgerald introduced novice writer Hemingway to Gertrude Stein and socialites Gerald and Sara Murphy. As the years progressed, the friendship became as mercurial and complex as the writers themselves. With a dazzling cast of characters that includes legendary Scribner's editor Maxwell Perkins, Zelda Fitzgerald and Hadley Hemingway, and writers Morley Callaghan and Edmund Wilson, Scott Donaldson recounts the glory and pain the great literary friendship of our time.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. The legendary friendship--and rivalry--of these literary giants was compellingly chronicled by Hemingway in A Moveable Feast, but as Hemingway reminded the reader, that book is fiction. Here, in Fitzgerald and Hemingway, leading scholar Scott Donaldson goes beyond the mythologizing to create a true, multi-faceted narrative of a great friendship fueled by admiration, jealousy, and liquor--a heady mixture of literary scholarship, history, and gossip. With a dazzling cast of characters that includes legendary Scribner's editor Maxwell Perkins, the artist/socialites Gerald and Sara Murphy, Zelda Fitzgerald and Hadley Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, John Dos Passos, Archibald MacLeish, agent Harold Ober, publisher Horace Liveright, and Lady Duff Twysden, Scott Donaldson recounts the glory and pain of a writing life and the rise and fall of the great literary friendship of our time.
