A study of Fitzgerald's themes, written for young adult readers.

This book charts Fitzgerald's use of racial stereotypes to encode the dual nature of his literary ambition: his desire to be on the one hand a popular American entertainer, and on the other to make his mark in an elite, international literary field.

F. Scott Fitzgerald at Work probes the complex story behind the sources that inspired Fitzgerald, his writing of the novel, and the enduring legacy of The Great Gatsby.

Documents the social climate during which the American classic was written, identifying the events and figures that contributed to its writing that were familiar to its first readers in 1925, in a companion volume that also describes Fitzgerald's arduous composition process. Original.
