Afternoon of an Author: A Selection of Uncollected Stories and Essays
F. Scott Fitzgerald - 1987

To supplement the reader's own insight into Fitzgerald's art, Arthur Mizener, author of the highly successful biography of Fitzgerald, The Far Side of Paradise, provides a revealing introduction and pertinent notes heading each selection.
