De l'écriture

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."

This Side Of Paradise

Das dekadente Leben wird zunehmend zur Prüfung und zur Belastung für alle Beteiligten.

Zärtlich ist die Nacht

Fitzgerald schafft ein treffendes Porträt von schönen, eigensinnigen jungen Frauen und ausschweifenden, vagabundierenden jungen Männer, die das ausmachten, was man die "Verlorene Generation" nannte. Mit ihren gegelten Haaren und den baumelnden Zigaretten sind seine Figuren raffiniert, witzig und vor allem modern.

Diese ikonische Sammlung von acht Geschichten enthält zum ersten Mal in deutscher Übersetzung einige von Fitzgeralds berühmtesten Erzählungen, darunter "Bernices Bubikopf", "Der Eispalast", "Kopf und Schultern" und "Der Offshore-Pirat". Sie ist heute ein fester Bestandteil der großen amerikanischen Literatur der Moderne und zeichnet das Amerika der 1920er Jahre.

Insgesamt ein einzigartiges Werk des Autors von "Der große Gatsby" und ein treffendes Porträt der sogenannten "Roaring Twenties", den von wirtschaftlichem Wachstum, Prohibition, Kriminalität, Jazz und Flappern geprägten 1920er Jahren in den Vereinigten Staaten.
