No other Fitzgerald-related work [Bruccoli] has done is likely to be as important as his critical editions of the major works. "The Love of the Last Tycoon" carries the authority of a great writer working very close to the top of his form.
David Freeman
"The Los Angeles Times"
Bruccoli's introduction and account of the composition of the novel are sensitive and nuanced, the result of a lifetime of Fitzgerald study. The book has marvelous set pieces, vivid cinematic images, and sustained invention...a few of the reasons the book endures.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. London. Little, Brown and Company (UK). 1994. Hard Cover. It was originally published in 1941 in the US. Duo-decimo, 12mo, 7½" x 4 (19cm x 11.4 cm) 165 pp. Black cloth with gilt papers to the spine. Frontispiece map showing the location that the novel was written in. Facsimiles of Fitzgerald's original manuscripts included in the text. Book and unclipped jacket are fine; the flaps have slight toning to upper edge and spine head but no other wear. F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 before he finished this novel. This text purges the printers' errors and editorial interventions that have appeared in previous editions. The tragic centre of the book is film producer Monroe Stahr, who sees film as art, rather than a money-making device. Even in its incomplete form, this book has achieved a reputation as the best Hollywood novel. When F. Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 he had written seventeen of thirty projected episodes. In 1941 the "unfinished novel" was published in a text for general readers by Edmund Wilson under the title The Last Tycoon. For more than fifty years this edition has been the only one available. This critical edition of The Love of the Last Tycoon utilizes Fitzgerald's manuscript drafts, revised typescripts, and working notes to establish the first authoritative text of the work. This volume includes a detailed history of the gestation, composition, and publication of the novel; full textual apparatus with editorial notes; facsimiles of the drafts; and explanatory notes on topical allusions and historical references for contemporary readers. The reconstruction of Fitzgerald's plan for the thirteen unwritten episodes is particularly useful. F. Scott Fitzgerald's incomplete masterpiece is restored to its 1940 state, and thus made fully accessible for the first time. Seller Inventory # 2306APR002
