The Thoughtbook of F. Scott Fitzgerald
When F. Scott Fitzgerald was fourteen and living in the Crocus Hill neighborhood of St. Paul, he began keeping a short diary of his exploits among his friends, friendly rivals, and crushes. He gave the journal a title page-Thoughtbook of Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald of St. Paul Minn. U.S.A.-and kept it securely locked in a box under his bed. He would later useThe Thoughtbookas the basis for \"The Book of Scandal\" in his Basil Lee Duke stories, and brief sections were copied over the years for use by scholars and even published in Life magazine. \"Are you going to the Ordways'? the Herseys'? the Schultzes'?\" Here, for the first time, is a complete transcription of this charming, twenty-seven-page diary highlighting Fitzgerald's escapades among the children of some of St. Paul's most influential families-models for the families described inThe Great Gatsby. Presented in a simple format for both scholars and general readers alike,The Thoughtbook of F. Scott Fitzgeraldincludes a new introduction by Dave Page that covers the history and provenance of the diary, its place and meaning in Fitzgerald's literary development, and its revelations about his life and writing process.
One of the earliest known works by F. Scott Fitzgerald,The Thoughtbookprovides a unique glimpse of Fitzgerald as a young boy and his social circle as they played among the grand homes of Summit Avenue, making up games, starting secret societies, competing with rivals, and (at all times) staying up-to-date on who exactly is vying for whose attention.

The Beautiful and Damned
A brilliant, sharp-edged novel of the Jazz Age by its most famous chronicler
With his impeccable lineage and Harvard education, twenty-five-year-old Anthony Patch is one of the sparkling lights of New York society. The presumptive heir to an enormous fortune, he marries the tempestuous Kansas City socialite Gloria Gilbert, and the two embark on a life of wild extravagance and profligate pleasure, assuming that whatever they cannot afford today they will be able to pay for tomorrow. But when Anthony's inheritance disappears, so too does his sense of invincibility. A brief tour in the Great War—where he finds comfort in another woman's arms—cannot correct Anthony's downward trajectory, and the marriage that began with such glittering promise ends in shambles.
Fitzgerald's next novel, The Great Gatsby, would be his masterwork. But The Beautiful and Damned, with its evocative parallels to his relationship with Zelda and its prescient portrait of a man tumbling from dazzling heights to gloomy depths, is arguably his most personal.
