Description: The Crack-Up by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edmund Wilson A self-portrait of a great writer s rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgeralds signature blend of romance and realism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgeralds sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgeralds death, this revealing collection of his essays-as well as letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos-tells of a man with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him grief and loss. "Fitzgeralds physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly," noted The New York Review of Books: "the essays are amazing for the candor." Author Biography F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1941) was one of the literary titans of the 20th century. A member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s, Fitzgeralds writings best captured what he termed "The Jazz Age," a period of declining traditional American values, prohibition and speakeasies, and great leaps in modernist trends.
