Publisher Description: Fool for Love is Scott Donaldson's masterful biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald--written from a fresh and highly intimate perspective. Fool for Love follows Fitzgerald from his birthplace in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Princeton and upward into the highest reaches of literary and public success--and ultimately to Fitzgerald's untimely death in Hollywood at the age of forty-four, broke and nearly forgotten. This engrossing, definitive study explores two classic Fitzgerald themes throughout--love and class--and the result is a striking portrayal of one of the twentieth century's greatest writers, whose legacy and influence only continue to grow. |
