&#8220Epc indeed, this is the definitive biography of
Fitzgerald, plain and simple. There&#8217no reason to own
another.&#8221&#8212Lirary Journal The Great Gatsby, The
Beautiful and Damned, Tender Is the Night, &#8220ThCurious
Case of Benjamin Button.&#8221These works and more
elevated F.cott Fitzgerald to his place as one of the most
important American authors of the twentieth century. After
struggling to become a screenwriter in Hollywood, Fitzgerald
was working on The Last Tycoon when he died of a heart
attack in 1940. He was only forty-four years old. Fitzgerald left
behind his own mythology. He was a prince charming, a
drunken author, a spoiled genius, the personification of the
Jazz Age, and a sacrificial victim of the Depression. Here,
Matthew J.Bruccoli strips away the fa&#231adeof this flawed

literary hero. He focuses on Fitzgerald as a writer by tracing
the development of his major works and his professional
career. Beginning with his Midwest upbringing and first
published works as a teenager, this biography follows
Fitzgerald&#8217life through the successful debut of This Side
of Paradise, his turbulent marriage to Zelda Sayre, his time in
Europe among The Lost Generation, the disappointing release
of The Great Gatsby, and his ignominious fall. As former US
poet laureate James Dickey said, &#8220thspirit of the man is
in the facts, and these, as gathered and marshalled by
Bruccoli over thirty years, are all we will ever need. But more
important, they are what we need.&#8221
