Synopses & ReviewsReview:"A new, fascinating perspective on Fitzgerald's work, and the novel writing process in general." David Wiegand, The San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Literary detective Bruccoli has produced a remarkable feat of scholarship in this welcome critical edition....[He] has restored Fitzgerald's original version and has also restored the narrative's ostensible working title..." Publishers Weekly Review:"Though there are snatches of brilliance throughout, the text is not polished to the fine luster readers expect....The Cambridge edition of The Love of the Last Tycoon is a superlative literary Christmas present. Essential..." Library Journal Review:"No other Fitzgerald-related work [Bruccoli] has done is likely to be as important....The Love of the Last Tycoon carries the authority of a great writer working very close to the top of his form." Scott Donaldson, Chicago Tribune Review:"Bruccoli's introduction and account of the composition of the novel are sensitive and nuanced....The book has marvelous set pieces, vivid cinematic images, and sustained invention...a few of the reasons the book endures." David Freeman, The Los Angeles Times Review:"Definitive." Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe Synopsis:Fitzgerald's last novel, published posthumously in 1941, was edited by Edmund Wilson, who attempted to polish the work to make it appear less like a work in progress. This version of the acclaimed Cambridge Critical text draws on the manuscript and Fitzgerald's own working drafts, notes, revisions, and corrections. About the Author F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896, attended Princeton University, and published his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. That same year he married Zelda Sayre and the couple divided their time among New York, Paris, and the Riviera, becoming a part of the American expatriate circle that included Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and John Dos Passos. Fitzgerald was a major new literary voice, and his masterpieces include The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. He died of a heart attack in 1940 at the age of forty-four, while working on The Love of the Last Tycoon. For his sharp social insight and breathtaking lyricism, Fitzgerald stands out as one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century.
