Fitzgerald, F. Scott
<Our item number 87109><B>Fitzgerald, F. Scott.</B> &#40;1896-1940&#41; American writer; the premier novelist of the Jazz Age. Autograph Letter Signed &#34;<I>Scott</I>&#34; 1p, written in pencil, 9½&#34;x8&#34;, n.p &#40;1936&#41;. Good; scattered toning and foxing, uneven lower edge. To &#34;<I>Dear Harold</I>,&#34; most likely Fitzgerald&#39;s longtime literary agent, Harold Ober. &#34;Outside the House&#34; is penciled at upper right corner. The date of receipt is stamped &#34;MAR 12 1936.&#34; The letter reads: &#34;<I>Here&#39;s the revision</I> [not present] <I>covering all your points & some others. It&#39;s much better. It&#39;ll have to be retyped. Scott</I>.&#34; <BR><BR>The work being revised was almost certainly Fitgerald&#39;s autobiographical essay, &#34;The Crack Up,&#34; which was published by <U>Esquire</U> in three parts that year. The other two parts were titled &#34;Pasting It Together&#34; and &#34;Handle With Care.&#34; The key theme in this series is emotional bankruptcy--using up one&#39;s capacity for emotion and having nothing left to offer. There was strong negative reaction to Fitzgerald&#39;s brutal honesty; even friends such as Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos were dismayed by his confessions. The essays did revive interest in Fitzgerald&#39;s work, however, and remain a compelling psychological portrait. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;4,500-6,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 87109<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/33jpegs/087109.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
