Love of the Last Tycoon/The Crack-Up (Paperback)

from HadriantheBlind

The author's last book, and a very incomplete one at that. One can see some fragments of the genius that wrote Gatsby, but there isn't very much left here to admire. Fame destroys.

I read this book just after moving. It helped conceal my own inchoate sense of things. It bothered me, kidding myself, I thought about what the novel might had been. That wasn't the issue, then.

from KatieANYC

Unfinished and clearly still working towards where it would ultimately land, but still incredibly crisp and evocative.
