The last tycoon / F. Scott Fitzgerald.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished final novel is the story of movie mogul Monroe Stahr. Through Stahr's struggles, Fitzgerald depicts the glamor and greed of 1930s Hollywood. This text, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, restores the author's phrases, words, and images that were excised from the original edition, giving new luster to a literary gem, and offering a rare glimpse into the process of one of America's greatest writers.
