The Pat Hobby Stories are a collection of 17 comedic short stories
written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. They first appeared in Esquire
magazine between January 1940 and May 1941, but in 1962 they were
collected into a single book and published posthumously.Pat Hobby
is a once successful screenwriter in Hollywood, but now an
alcoholic and broke, who spends his time hanging around the studio,
hoping for work. The stories generally revolve around him hatching
a plan to earn money or glory in some way, but they usually end in
further humiliation.The introduction to the book states, "while it
would be unfair to judge this book as a novel, it would be less
than fair to consider it as anything but a full-length portrait. It
was as such that Fitzgerald worked on it, and would have wanted it
presented in book form, after its original magazine publication. He
thought of it as a comedy."
