SCOTT FITZGERALD Last Tycoon An Unfinished Novel, together with The Great Gatsby, and Selected Short Stories in hollywood he fell in love with Sheila Graham and they remained together until his death died halfway through his last novel "The Last Tycoon" on December 21 1940 "I want to write something new- something extraordinary and beautiful and simple & intricately patterned" from a letter to his editor in July 1922 By RING W. LARDNER WHAT OF IT? A collection of brief burlesque plays, comments on the manners and customs of the time, satirical fairy-tales, the narrative of his recent trip to Europe, etc., which will first make one laugh uproariously and then make one ponder; for, sympathetic and kindly as they are, each of them is at the same time sharply critical of American mankind to-day. HOW TO WRITE SHORT STORIES "His stories are superbly adroit and atsing: no other contemporary American, sober or gay, writes better. -H. L. Mesckes, in the American Mercury. "Some of the best short stories any American writer has ever done.... In a manner worthy of the best writers of English, Mr. Lardner has called upon the elements of humor, buffoonery, pathos, realism, and downright pity to work for him as he selects.... Mr. Lardner is the only one who could have accomplished this particular feat, and it is all joyous reading."-New York World. The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compas- sionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curi- ous incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some height- ened sensitivity to the promises of life.... It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again." It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous en- tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
