This volume prints thirty-seven interviews with F. Scott Fitzgerald The quotes from Fitzgerald and the contemporary journalistic reaction to him reveal much about his writing techniques, artistic wisdom, and life In the twenties Fitzgerald was regarded as a spokesman for rebellious youth, as a play-boy, as an authority on sex and marriage, an expert on Prohibition, and as a sensational popular writer. It was some time before he would be regarded as one of the best American writers who ever lived and author of one of the greatest novels in the English language: The Great Gatsby.
