More about the Scott Fitzgerald Manuscript Wrap Journal

The life and art of Scott Fitzgerald (1896 - 1940) mirror the excesses and sublime brilliance of the society that produced him. As the foremost chronicler of the outsized ambitions, appetites and failures that have consistently defined America, he is a writer with special relevance today. At first Fitzgerald's status as a hard-living celebrity threatened to overshadow his literary achievement. He made most of his money from his commercial short stories and become famous for his struggles with his mentally ill wife, Zelda, the autobiographical elements in his work and his alcoholism. Despite that reputation, Fitzgerald wrote sober and was meticulous about revision. Several years after his death from a heart attack at age 44, critics re-evaluated his life's work and declared The Great Gatsby a landmark American novel, thereby securing his place in firmament of American letters. This journal cover portrays a fragment of the manuscript from this literary masterpiece.
