Welcome to Litsy!

This incomplete manuscript could have been an interesting novel were it was finished. The characters weren't exactly interesting but the events surrounding them were.

Progress:

I finished AFfC last week and a short story, overall a productive week. Will be finishing Artemis this upcoming week. Started a bunch of ebooks too, still fantasy-dominated but I am balancing that with The Last Tycoon.

still trying to get back into my other picks.

Third time's the charm. I got a 19 so let's try to read through this one. I enjoy F. Scott Fitzgerald's writing style and prose so this should not be a bad pick.

new version of The Last Tycoon (1941)-originally published after Fitzgerald‘s premature death while in Hollywood. Unfinished then, so this scholar-editor‘s 1993 attempt to reassemble is done well. Even the air of vagueness and disjoint caused by the original incompleteness adds to effect since it's a pic of Hollywood as surreal place where usual rules don‘t apply. Asearing picture of the Hollywood machine in the 1930s and the “ethnics“ therein

I am so glad to be done with this one! I enjoyed The Great Gatsby, but this one was almost a complete bore. I‘m not much interested in Hollywood. I realize that this is an unfinished work and needs much more editing. However, the only interesting scenes are between Stahr and Kathleen; everything else, as Stahr would say, is “trash.” (Sorry if that‘s a bit harsh. 😬) #Booked2020 #SetInHollywood #AtoZLitsy #ClassicsChallenge2020

My favorite book! The main character is supposedly based on Irving Thalberg. F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author. I'm pretty sure I own his entire collection of works.
