Donaldson published many articles on American literature and culture and edited a number of books. Derived from a Kirkus review: A tidy history of the literary rivalry and oft-fractured friendship between Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Donaldson, begins with an introduction to his subjects" childhoods and early romances that attempts to draw parallels between the two men. Donaldson delineates the origins of the men's friendship amidst the snappy decadence of the American expatriate community in 1920s Paris.

First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. In this volume, the author recounts the friendship and rivalry of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway that began in Paris in the 1920s and lasted long after their deaths.
