In one volume, four novels by 'the real Fitzgerald': scintillating, sexually frank tales of the desperate pursuit of pleasure and status in Jazz Age America.Here in one volume are four gripping novels about the anxious pursuit of pleasure and status in the Jazz Age by the writer who has been called the real Fitzgerald. In the brilliant debut Appointment in Samarra (1934), the life of car dealer Julian English unravels with stunning swiftness after he throws a highball in another mans face. Butterfield 8 (1935), based on the notorious case of the drowned socialite Starr Faithfull, is the stillshocking story of one young womans defiant recklessness amid the desperate revels of Prohibitionera Manhattan. The long outofprint Hope of Heaven (1938) shifts the scene to Los Angeles for a noirish tale of illfated love. And Pal Joey (1940), inspiration for the enduring Rodgers & Hart musical, presents OHaras perhaps most memorable character, a sleazy nightclub emcee whose wisedup talk highlights OHaras matchless ear for the American language.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nations literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, Americas best and most significant writing.
