The last tycoon : an unfinished novel, together with The great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald (Author), Edmund Wilson (Editor)
F. Scott Fitzgerald died before he could finish this novel [The Last Tycoon] ... Its central character, the great film producer Monroe Stahr, is based on Irving Thalberg and, like Fitzgerald, is a desperately sick man, disenchanted with life, but striving still to work. Unfinished though it is, The Last Tycoon proves without a doubt that Fitzgerald was one of the great novelists. In addition to providing an illuminating Foreword, Edmund Wilson has assembled a tentative outline of the rest of the story as Fitzgerald intended to develop it, and has appended passages from the author's notes dealing with the characters and scenes
