A Western: The Cambridge Edition
At the time of his death in 1940, F Scott Fitzgerald was working on a novel that has since been hailed as "his most mature piece of work". When published in 1941 under the title 'The Last Tycoon', Scott Fitzgerald's final work was edited to appeal to the general reader, disguising the true state of the author's progress. Now, following exhaustive research into original manuscript drafts and notes, Fitzgerald scholar and biographer Matthew J Bruccoli has assembled the definitive version of the book, reflecting more faithfully what the author himself intended.
