Book Description Paperback. Condition: Gut. 196 p. Einband weist leichte Lesespuren auf, Seiten papierbedingt leicht angebräunt, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / Cover shows light reading traces, pages slightly browned due to paper, otherwise a good copy. - A novel of the glittering decadence of Hollywood in its heyday, this was Fitzgerald s last work and he died without completing it. The novel s tragic tycoon hero is Stahr. Caught in the crossfire of his own effortless cynicism and his silent secret vulnerability, Stahr inhabits a world dominated by business, alcohol and promiscuity. If there is a moral or social necessity to film-making in this West Coast never-never land, Stahr does not always believe in it If there is love he does not always see it. The sharpness of Fitzgerald s prose, the steely simplicity of his style, give a cutting edge to this study of Hollywood in the thirties, from which Fitzgerald draws a painfully bitter-sweet love affair and bids his own poignant farewell to the Great American Dream.
