Lots Of Love: Scott Et Scottie: Correspondence, 1936-1940

Tendre est la nuit est l'histoire, largement autobiographique, de la décomposition d'un être fait pour être aimé, trop romantique pour pouvoir résister à son époque, trop tendre, malgré son apparente désinvolture, pour savoir sagement vieillir.C'est plus particulièrement l'histoire de l'amour de Dick et de Nicole, dont nous faisons connaissance à travers les yeux émerveillés d'une jeune actrice qui ne résiste pas au charme de Dick. Ce couple très uni cache un secret. Nicole a été soignée par Dick, médecin psychiatre. L'amour qu'elle a porté à Dick a fait de leur union une nécessité. Un jour viendra pourtant où ils devront se séparer...Mais le lecteur aura vécu avec eux les plus belles années d'une vie de loisir rendue magique par la richesse, les voyages. C'est un extraordinaire témoignage sur la vie d'entre les deux guerres qui nous est offert, un témoignage qui ne va pas sans une douloureuse nostalgie, un livre ensorcelé.Ce roman domine, avec Gatsby le Magnifique, l'oeuvre de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, l'émouvant représentant de la fameuse « génération perdue ».

Tendre est la nuit

Amérique, années 1920. Un brillant jeune homme triomphe en littérature. Il est talentueux, il est beau, il est affable. Il s'appelle Francis Scott Fitzgerald. Les critiques sont charmés. Dans ce choix inédit de ses interviews, il se montre à la fois sérieux et moqueur, espiègle et brillant. C'est avec esprit qu'il répond aux questions littéraires, intimes et parfois politiques des journalistes qui se pressent à la porte de celui qui passe alors pour un jeune prodige. L'inventeur des flappers et le découvreur de l'« âge du jazz » brille ici de toute son intelligence et de toute sa gaieté. « Des livres et une Rolls » ? C'est ce qu'il voudrait s'offrir avec l'argent qu'il va gagner. Écoutons la voix si séduisante de l'auteur de Gatsby le Magnifique.

Nouvelles 49: Absolution/Le Premier Mai/Retour à Babylone

Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate – a marvelous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period – which reveals a hero like no other – one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous entertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan – a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

The Pat Hobby Stories are a collection of 17 comedic short stories written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. They first appeared in Esquire magazine between January 1940 and May 1941, but in 1962 they were collected into a single book and published posthumously. Pat Hobby is a once successful screenwriter in Hollywood, but now an alcoholic and broke, who spends his time hanging around the studio, hoping for work. The stories generally revolve around him hatching a plan to earn money or glory in some way, but they usually end in further humiliation. The introduction to the book states, "while it would be unfair to judge this book as a novel, it would be less than fair to consider it as anything but a full-length portrait. It was as such that Fitzgerald worked on it, and would have wanted it presented in book form, after its original magazine publication. He thought of it as a comedy."

Histoires de Pat Hobby

"Head and Shoulders" is the story of what happens when Yale philosopher Horace Tarbox-the "head"-answers the door to Vaudeville star Marcia-the "shoulders." Marcia's performance is but the first step in an astonishing role reversal that will prove, ".when you [open] the door at the rap of life, you let in many things.""Head and Shoulders" was collected in Flappers and Philosophers (1920), and is resonant with many of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most popular themes including mismatched lovers, the sacrifices made for love, and romantic disappointment.
