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 cinema of Malcolm Lowry : a scholarly edition of Lowry's \Tender is the night\
This filmscript of Tender is the Night, which Malcolm Lowry co-wrote in 1949-50, is less an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel than an extension of Lowry's own fiction.

I'd die for you : and other lost stories
\"Known not only for his brilliant novels but also for short stories chronicling the Jazz Age, such as 'Bernice bobs her hair' and 'The diamond as big as the Ritz,' F. Scott Fitzgerald continued to write stories his entire life, some of which were never published--until now. Many of the stories in I'd die for you were submitted to major magazines and accepted for publication during Fitzgerald's lifetime but were never printed. A few were written as movie scenarios and sent to studios or producers, but not filmed. Others are stories that could not be sold because their subject matter or style departed from what editors expected of Fitzgerald in the 1930s. They come from various sources, from library archive to private collections, including those of Fitzgerald's family\"--Jacket flap.
