- Synopsis
- F. SCOTT FITZGERALD captured for all time the feverish gaiety, the high expectations, the small disappointments of the Roaring Twenties--and in the process his own life became an American legend. Some critics have said that Fitzgerald’s writing declined after The Great Gatsby. Rose Gallo takes exception to that view. In this refreshing introduction to Fitzgerald’s work, she traces the development of all of the writer’s novels chronologically--from This Side of Paradise (1920) to The Last Tycoon (published posthumously, 1941)--and examines with a discerning eye some of his major short stories. Fitzgerald’s fiction, writes the author, was shaped not only by the 1920s but by the grander, more enduring mythologies of the past. Author Rose Adrienne Gallo is Associate Professor of English at Seton Hall University.
