The Last Tycoon

Fitzgerald's last novel, published posthumously in 1941, was edited by Edmund Wilson, who attempted to polish the work to make it appear less like a work in progress. This version of the acclaimed Cambridge Critical text draws on the manuscript and Fitzgerald's own working drafts, notes, revisions, and corrections.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's poignant final work is now available in a beautifully designed collector's edition.

Fitzgerald's final novel portrays the glittering excess of 1930s Hollywood. This edition, authorized by the Fizgerald estate, is a careful restoration of the author's phrases, words, and images that were excised from the 1940 publication, giving new luster to Fitzgerald's last work.

A tragic story of the young Hollywood mogul Monroe Stahr, a character who was inspired by the life of movie producer Irving Thalberg, The Last Tycoon is a sharply observed and bittersweet expos of the film industry in its heyday.
