Acquisitions (88): F. Scott Fitzgerald


F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories. ['Flappers and Philosophers', 1920; 'Tales of the Jazz Age', 1922]. Previously Published as Jazz Age Stories. Ed. Patrick O'Donnell. 1998. London: Penguin, 2008.


David Fincher, dir.: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

The Curious Case of F. Scott Fitzgerald


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - I can't tell you how much I hated that film. The strange regional accent Cate Blanchett chose to affect throughout made her literally incomprehensible most of the time; Brad Pitt looked as if he'd strayed onto the wrong set by mistake. It's no accident that the three Oscars it won were for Art Direction, Makeup, and Visual Effects - it was passed over in all the other, more significant categories.

It was, therefore, with a certain trepidation that I picked up a second-hand copy of the book pictured above. It turned out to be very desirable indeed, however, as it reprints the complete texts of F. Scott Fitzgerald's first two books of short stories, Flappers and Philosophers (1920) and Tales of the Jazz Age (1922).


Baz Luhrmann, dir.: The Great Gatsby (2013)


After all, none of those complaints about the movie can really be laid at Scott Fitzgerald's door, just as he had no way of preventing the miscasting of the wolfish Leonardo di Caprio in the part of dreamy romantic Jay Gatsby - or, for that matter, the plank-like performance of Robert Redford in the same role some forty years earlier. At least the Baz Luhrmann version stuck more or less to the story - little though the director appears to have understood it.


Jack Clayton, dir.: The Great Gatsby (1974)


All in all, Scott Fitzgerald could not be said to have been particularly well treated by Hollywood. His time as a screenwriter was, by all accounts, pretty miserable, and has certainly contributed to the myth of Fitzgerald the eternal loser: a hopeless drunk, tormented by his doomed relationship with Zelda Sayre, increasingly unable - as the years went by - even to put pen to paper.


Michael Grandage, dir.: Genius (2016)


That's certainly how he's portrayed by Guy Pearce in the Thomas Wolfe bio-pic Genius. There's one telling scene where Max Perkins, editor to both of these hapless geniuses, explains to Wolfe how difficult it is for Fitzgerald to write a single word, whereas Wolfe simply turns on a spigot and out they come!


F. Scott Fitzgerald: Flappers and Philosophers (1920)


All I can say about this doomed soul is that he resembles Jay Gatsby far more than he does Fitzgerald himself. Much has been made of the fact that Fitzgerald only published four novels in 20 years of authorship, and that only the first of them could be said to have been a success. And that is indeed so.

What this simple statistic ignores, however, is the detail that during the same period he published roughly 150 short stories - most of them in high-prestige "slick" magazines, which paid very handsomely for his work.


F. Scott Fitzgerald: Tales of the Jazz Age (1922)


No wonder he concentrated on stories rather than novels! They, even more than his screenwriting, were the staple fare which funded his lavish lifestyle. Were some weaker than others? Of course! But among them are several of the most famous stories in American literature - 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz', 'Winter Dreams', 'The Last of the Belles', 'Babylon Revisited', even (I suppose) 'The Strange Case of Benjamin Button.' Overall, they constitute a dazzling display of inventiveness and wit.


F. Scott Fitzgerald: All the Sad Young Men (1926)


As I've tried to make clear in the listings below, no single book can do justice to the range and extent of Fitzgerald's writing in this medium. A mere 46 of them were included in the four collections he published during his lifetime, to which Malcolm Cowley's posthumous selection The Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (1951) added another ten.

After that the floodgates began, gradually, to open:
  • Afternoon of an Author (1958), edited by Arthur Mizener, collected 13 stories and 7 essays;
  • The Pat Hobby Stories (1962) collected all 17 short stories about the fictional screenwriter;
  • The Apprentice Fiction (1965) collected 16 early stories written at college and university;
  • The Basil and Josephine Stories (1973) collected 14 short stories about Fitzgerald's post-Wall St. Crash hero and heroine Basil Duke Lee and Josephine Perry;
  • Bits of Paradise (1974) collected 21 stories: 11 by Fitzgerald, 9 by Zelda, and 1 by both of them
  • The Price Was High: The Last Uncollected Stories (1979) collected the remaining 50 short stories from his published oeuvre;
  • Then there was The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald (1989), edited by Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli: a new selection of 43 stories (all available in earlier collections) designed to replace Malcolm Cowley's pioneering collection;
  • & finally I'd Die For You: And Other Lost Stories (2017), includes 18 uncollected (and mostly unpublished) stories, scenarios and fragments.
I calculate that this leaves only 9 uncollected pieces among the 187 published and unpublished Fitzgerald stories listed below.
  1. Shaggy's Morning (May 1935)
  2. The Count of Darkness (June 1935)
  3. The Kingdom in the Dark (Aug 1935)
  4. The Ants at Princeton (June 1, 1936)
  5. Strange Sanctuary [aka 'Make Yourself at Home' (1936)] (Dec 1939)
  6. Gods of Darkness (writ. 1934 / pub. 1941)
  7. The Broadcast We Almost Heard Last September (Fall 1947)
  8. The World’s Fair (Autumn 1948)
  9. A Full Life (Winter 1988)
To that one ought surely to add the 15 or so essays assembled in The Crack-up (1945) and Afternoon of an Author (1958).

All in all, Fitzgerald seems to have kept on steadily writing and publishing, rain or shine, drunk or sober - surely in itself sufficient refutation of what we might refer to as the 'Lost Decade' myth of his career.


F. Scott Fitzgerald: Taps at Reveille (1935)


I guess, in a sense, that it all comes back to The Great Gatsby. That amazing final passage from the novel where Fitzgerald seems to sum up the true meaning of the American dream - its simple nostalgia for a few humble truths left far behind on 'the dark fields of the republic' - is so eloquent, so complete in itself, that it's very hard to imagine its author having anything further to say:
… as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors' eyes – a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.
And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter – tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. … And one fine morning ––
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Its author, however, had fifteen more years to live. The listings below should demonstrate, once and for all, that he didn't waste any of that time.
