Scott Fitzgerald died in 1940, he left behind an unfinished draft of this poignant novel, inspired by his own experience working in Hollywood as a screenwriter. Literary critic Edmund Wilson edited Fitzgerald’s notes and material to publish this text of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e in 1941. Now, this edition restores Wilson’s editorial work and includes an introduction from celebrated author Haruki Murakami. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSet in Hollywood in the 1930s, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e tells the tragic story of a young film producer named Monroe Stahr. Exploring themes of ambition, power, and corruption, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e depicts Stahr’s struggle to balance his personal life and professional goals with the challenges of running a successful movie studio. Based on the career of real-life producer Irving Thalberg, the head of MGM who was known as Hollywood’s “boy wonder”, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tycoon\u003c\/i\u003e is a sharply observed and bittersweet exposé of the glittering excess of the Hollywood film industry in its prime.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44208987832575,"sku":"9781668047996","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_2e73b6d5-3566-4026-a953-9c2aaa66ef7e.jpg?v=1764014392","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781668047996","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
