Book 612: The Last Tycoon

The Last Tycoon, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Scribners, 1941.

This, the unfinished final novel of F. Scott Fitzgerald, would probably have been his finest novel.  I don't use that phrase lightly.  Fitzgerald turned out many fine, thought-provoking novels, but this one draws the reader in, and, even before reaching the heart-wrenching, drafted conclusion, leaves the reader aching for both the narrator and the titular character.
