One of the nation's leading literary biographers, Scott Donaldson has written eight books about 20th century American authors. These include Poet in America: Winfield Townley Scott, By Force of Will: The Life and Art of Ernest Hemingway, Fool for Love, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Cheever: A Biography, Archibald MacLeish: An American Life, winner of the 1993 Ambassador Book Award, Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald: The Rise and Fall of a Literary Friendship, which has been translated into seven languages, Edwin Arlington Robinson: A Poet's Life, named the best biography of the year by Contemporary Poetry Forum, Fitzgerald and Hemingway: Works and Days, & Death of a Rebel: The Charlie Fenton Story. He explores his experiences as a biographer, as well as those of others in the field, in The Impossible Craft: Literary Biography. Donaldson published many articles on American literature and culture and edited a number of books. Derived from a Kirkus review: A tidy history of the literary rivalry and oft-fractured friendship between Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Donaldson, begins with an introduction to his subjects" childhoods and early romances that attempts to draw parallels between the two men. Donaldson delineates the origins of the men's friendship amidst the snappy decadence of the American expatriate community in 1920s Paris. With their world populated by the likes of Gertrude Stein, John Dos Passos, Archibald MacLeish, and the cream of the Parisian social scene, Hemingway and Fitzgerald moved, frolicked, and fought in the limelight both of their private social circles and a scrutinizing public eye. The many fracases the two men found themselves in provided the men with ample opportunities either to realign themselves as friends in mutual support or to distance themselves from each other. The friendship floundered over the question of reputation.
