Reader's Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night

Matthew J. Bruccoli; Judith S. Baughman

Solves the mysteries surrounding a maligned masterpiece Tender Is the Night, the novel F. Scott Fitzgerald worked longest and hardest on, has not achieved its proper recognition because the text is peppered with errors and chronological inconsistencies. Moreover, the novel has a concentration of references to people, places, and events that most readers no longer recognize. In this guide to the novel, Matthew J. Bruccoli corrects those errors and explains the factual details. He also offers maps, photos, correspondence, and notes that demystify the writing of one of literature's most misunderstood -- and underrated -- masterpieces.

The Great Gatsby

Matthew J. Bruccoli; F. Scott Fitzgerald

This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, THE GREAT GATSBY. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule. Subsequent printings introduced further departures form the author's words. This edition, based on the Cambridge critical text, restores all the language of Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Drawing on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, this is the authorized text--THE GREAT GATSBY as Fitzgerald intended it.

Fitzgerald and Hemingway: A Dangerous Friendship

Matthew J. Bruccoli

In the fifteen years since Matthew Bruccoli published Scott and Ernest, his groundbreaking account of the relationship between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, substantial new material has been discovered. Of even greater importance is that in 1978, Hemingway's will prohibited the publication of his letters (unlike the Fitzgerald estate which made all relevant correspondence available to Bruccoli). Mary Hemingway subsequently overruled that restraint so their inclusion here (all the Hemingway letters to Fitzgerald plus Hemingway letters about Fitzgerald) is one of the many reasons this new, independent book supersedes the earlier work which is now best seen as a preliminary study. Fitzgerald and Hemingway strips away the myths and sets the record straight on the complex and progressively tenuous friendship these two literary giants maintained from the first meeting at the Dingo bar in Paris in 1925 until Fitzgerald's death in 1940. This is the true and definitive version of the ups and downs of the famous friendship. It is also an instructive consideration of the many inaccurate accounts, and of literary memoirs in general. The lives of these two writers will never cease to fascinate - just as their best novels and stories will continue to be read for generations. In that regard, Fitzgerald and Hemingway is an important contribution to America's literary history.

F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Life in Letters

Matthew J. Bruccoli; F. Scott Fitzgerald; Judith S. Baughman

"I doubt if, after all, I'll ever write anything again worth putting in print". F. Scott Fitzgerald was twenty-six when he wrote this lament to his editor, Maxwell Perkins, in 1923 - two years before Scribners published The Great Gatsby. Soon after Gatsby appeared, Fitzgerald wrote to H. L. Mencken, "I think the book is so far a commercial failure - at least it was two weeks after publication - hadn't reached 20,000 yet". Gatsby turned out all right in the end. But while Fitzgerald's roller-coaster reputation fell precipitously in the years approaching his death in 1940, his stature in American literature has risen steadily in the five decades that followed - the strongest restoration in American literary history. Yet his life and work have remained obscured by myth and misconceptions. In this new collection of his letters, edited by leading Fitzgerald scholar and biographer Matthew J. Bruccoli, we see through his own words the artistic and emotional maturation of one of America's most enduring and elegant authors. A Life in Letters is the most comprehensive volume of Fitzgerald's letters - many of them appearing in print for the first time. The fullness of the selection and the chronological arrangement make this collection the closest thing to an autobiography Fitzgerald ever wrote. While many readers are familiar with Fitzgerald's legendary "jazz age" social life and his friendships with Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Edmund Wilson, and other famous authors, few are aware of his writings about his life and his views on writing. Letters to his editor Maxwell Perkins illustrate the development of Fitzgerald's literary sensibility; those to his friend and competitor Ernest Hemingwayreveal their difficult friendship. The most poignant letters here were written to his wife, Zelda, from the time of their courtship in Montgomery, Alabama, during World War I to her extended convalescence in a sanatorium near Asheville, North Carolina. Fitzgerald is by turns affectionate and proud in his letters to his daughter, Scottie, at college in the East while he was struggling in Hollywood. For readers who think primarily of Fitzgerald as a hard-drinking playboy for whom writing was effortless, these letters show his serious, painstaking concerns with creating realistic, durable art. A Life in Letters offers a full, vibrant self-portrait of an artist whose work was his life.
