For the first time in Russian. Previously unpublished stories from the author of The Great Gatsby. Already Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise, was called a manifesto of a generation. Next were written “The Great Gatsby” and “Tender is the Night,” which made the writer the voice of the jazz era. He became successful and popular. Then there was the Great Depression and his wife’s illness, and day labor at Hollywood film studios. Anyone would break under such circumstances. And Fitzgerald was looking for new topics, entering controversial territories, experimenting with style. He fought for the publication of his new things. He looked for himself in scripts for films that were never produced. He argued with editors, defending his position. Instead of watering down the novelty and following the lead of others' tastes, Fitzgerald's genius chose to remain true to himself, to who he always was - the voice of his generation, a brilliant storyteller, a magnificent stylist.
