F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Life in Letters. A New Selection Edited and Annotated by Matthew J. Bruccoli.

New York: Scribner's, 1994. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine copy with remainder mark in a Fine dust jacket. In this collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald's letters, edited by leading Fitzgerald scholar and biographer Matthew J. Bruccoli, we see through his own words the artistic and emotional maturation of one of America's most enduring and elegant authors. A Life in Letters is the most comprehensive volume of Fitzgerald's letters -- many of them appearing in print for the first time. The fullness of the selection and the chronological arrangement make this collection the closest thing to an autobiography that Fitzgerald ever wrote. Letters to his editor Maxwell Perkins illustrate the development of Fitzgerald's literary sensibility; those to his friend and competitor Ernest Hemingway reveal their difficult relationship.
