picknew version of The Last Tycoon (1941)-originally published after Fitzgerald‘s premature death while in Hollywood. Unfinished then, so this scholar-editor‘s 1993 attempt to reassemble is done well. Even the air of vagueness and disjoint caused by the original incompleteness adds to effect since it's a pic of Hollywood as surreal place where usual rules don‘t apply. Asearing picture of the Hollywood machine in the 1930s and the “ethnics“ therein
panI am so glad to be done with this one! I enjoyed The Great Gatsby, but this one was almost a complete bore. I‘m not much interested in Hollywood. I realize that this is an unfinished work and needs much more editing. However, the only interesting scenes are between Stahr and Kathleen; everything else, as Stahr would say, is “trash.” (Sorry if that‘s a bit harsh. 😬) #Booked2020 #SetInHollywood #AtoZLitsy #ClassicsChallenge2020
My favorite book! The main character is supposedly based on Irving Thalberg. F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author. I'm pretty sure I own his entire collection of works.
I won this beautiful print and book in an instagram giveaway!! ❤️ I just loved the print by @Obviousstate and the book is signed by some of the cast of the series The love of the las tycoon @ScribnerBooks #Bookmail
