Description
F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished masterpiece, The Last Tycoon, is a poignant tale of doomed love set against the vibrant backdrop of America's booming film industry in the 1930s. A mysterious woman's enigmatic smile sets off a chain of events that unfolds like a movie, watched by those around her with a mix of fascination and cynicism. This Penguin Modern Classics edition features an introduction by Edmund Wilson, providing insight into Fitzgerald's life and work. Fitzgerald's writing is infused with the glamour and excess of Hollywood's golden age, while also exploring themes of love, sentiment, and the human condition.
