A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely
personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance
and realism. The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden
descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty
despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund
Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, this revealing
collection of his essays--as well as letters to and from Gertrude
Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos--tells of a man
with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a
living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him
grief and loss. Fitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is
described brilliantly, noted The New York Review of Books: the
essays are amazing for the candor.
