Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's 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. \"Fitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly,\" noted The New York Review of Books: \"the essays are amazing for the candor.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974559498528,"sku":"NEW0811218201","price":20.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/613AC8q0_KL._SL1200_QL70.jpg?v=1785799901","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-crack-up-0811218201","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
