Viac o knihe

<p> <strong>A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance and realism.</strong> </p><em>The Crack-Up</em> tells the story of Fitzgerald's 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 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 <em>The New York Review of Books</em>: "the essays are amazing for the candor."
