Scott Fitzgerald, and to him from many of his famous contemporaries,[to Gertrude Stein, Willa Cather, John O'Hara, E. Hemingway; from Edmund Wilson, H.L. Mencken, Van Wyck Brooks, T.S. Eliot, Ring Lardner. and many others to and from well-known literary figures of the twenties, thirties and forties.] often presents both sides of an exchange. None of the contents of the 1963 volume of his letters is included. Extending fromhis boyhood to the last days of his life (Dec.21, 1940),these letters provide, in a sense, an intimate biography of the author and a vivid picture of his times. Of special interest are the many he and his wife, Zelda, wrote to each other: those of the difficult courtship during the First World War and the heartbreaking ones during Zelda's prolonged and recurring breakdown in the 1930's. 2nd Printing 2nd Printing 2nd Printing.
