Fitzgerald, F. Scott : Pasting It Together in Esquire Magazine

Esquire, Inc., Chicago, 1936

Folio. Entire issue, March, 1936, in original colorful pictorial Sam Berman wraps, moderate general wear and soiling, rear wrap soiled a bit more, occasional creasing. The author's follow-up piece to the classic, The Crack-Up, which had appeared in the previous month's issue. From the opening paragraph, "In a previous article this writer told about his realization that what he had before him was not the dish that he had ordered for his forties. In fact -- since he and the dish were one, he described himself as a cracked plate, the kind that one wonders whether it is worth preserving. Your editor thought that the article suggested too many aspects without regarding them closely, and probably many readers felt the same way -- and there are always those to whom all self-revelation is contemptible, unless it ends with a noble thanks to the gods for the Unconquerable Soul.". Magazine. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Soft cover
