Even in its incomplete form The Love of The Last Tycoon has
achieved a reputation as the best novel about Hollywood. When F.
Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940 he had written seventeen of thirty
projected episodes. In 1941 the 'unfinished novel' was published in
a text for general readers by Edmund Wilson under the title The
Last Tycoon. For more than fifty years this edition, which is not
true to the original work in progress, has been the only one
available. This critical edition of The Love of The Last Tycoon,
first published in 1994, utilises Fitzgerald's manuscript drafts,
revised typescipts, and working notes to establish the first
authoritative text of the work. The volume includes a detailed
history of the gestation, composition, and publication of the
novel; full textual apparatus with editorial notes; fascimiles of
the drafts; and explanatory notes on topical allusions and
historical references for contemporary readers. The reconstruction
of Fitzgerald's plan for the thirteen unwritten episodes is
particularly useful. F. Scott Fitzgerald's incomplete masterpiece
is restored its 1940 state, and thus made fully accessible to a
cross-section of readers.
