A landmark work in American literary biography, Scott Fitzgerald by Andrew Turnbull chronicles the life of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated and tragic writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Drawing on Turnbull's personal acquaintance with Fitzgerald — whom he knew as a child when the author rented a property adjacent to his family's estate — the biography presents an intimate and authoritative portrait of the man behind The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night. Turnbull details Fitzgerald's meteoric rise as the voice of the Jazz Age, his turbulent marriage to Zelda Sayre, and his heartbreaking decline into alcoholism and obscurity. Written with warmth and scholarly precision, it remains one of the most vivid and human accounts of an artist perpetually caught between brilliance and self-destruction.
