F Scott Fitzgerald (Over 25,000 results)

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Written during F. Scott Fitzgerald's Hollywood years, a witty collection of tales where humor and heartbreak collide through the eyes of a once-successful screenwriter--now with a new foreword by Fitzgerald's great-granddaughter Blake Hazard and a bonus Pat Hobby story that has never before been published in print. Literary legend F. Scott Fitzgerald pulls back the curtain on the glitz, chaos, and absurdity of the movie industry through the eyes of Pat Hobby, a screenwriter clinging to his faded dreams. Pat's amusing misadventures offer a glimpse into the life of a man caught between the illusions of ambition and reality's disappointments. Set in 1930s Hollywood--a place where lunchroom gossip held as much power as the scripts themselves--Pat's world is one of desperation and hustle. Once celebrated for his screenwriting, he's now a relic, scraping by on odd jobs and his half-baked schemes to make a buck. Pat navigates town with a blend of cunning and futility. "This was not art, this was an industry," he observes, capturing the soul of a system where creativity takes a back seat to profit. Originally published in Esquire from 1939 to 1940, these stories were born from Fitzgerald's own struggles to make it in Hollywood. The result is a darkly funny and brilliantly crafted portrait of an antihero writer who's willing to go for broke.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This first edition ever published of Trimalchio, an early and complete version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby now appears in paperback. Fitzgerald wrote the novel as Trimalchio and submitted it to Maxwell Perkins, his editor at Scribner's, who had the novel set in type and the galleys sent to Fitzgerald in France. Fitzgerald then virtually rewrote the novel in galleys, producing the book we know as The Great Gatsby. This ur-version, Trimalchio, has never been published and is markedly different from The Great Gatsby: two chapters were completely rewritten for the published novel, and the rest of the book was heavily revised. Characterization is different, the narrative voice of Nick Carraway is altered and, most importantly, the revelation of Jay Gatsby's past is handled in a wholly different way. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. One of the classics of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby is now available in a definitive, textually accurate edition. 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 from 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 proof of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, this is the authorized text - The Great Gatsby as Fitzgerald intended it. …
