A portrait of an age of both dazzling spirit and bitter disillusionment, based on the last drunken days of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The 1920s: a golden age, and Manley Halliday is a golden figure. Lauded by the critics, this great writer of the decade has everything - beauty, brilliance, wealth, and a strikingly lovely wife. But years later, in the very different atmosphere of the thirties, Halliday is a shadow of his former self, cast upon the inhospitable shores of Hollywood. When Shep, a young and ambitious Hollywood screenwriter, is partnered up with Halliday, he is awestruck to find himself working alongside a literary hero. Enlisted by movie mogul Victor Milgrim to co-write college musical Love on Ice, the pair embark on a journey to New York. But Shep may find that his vision of the great Manley Halliday fails to match up with the man himself . . .

Great book, great price. The author knew this world from the inside. Thirty years later, he won an Oscar for writing, but this piece by a kid in his twenties is mind-boggling. If nothing else, the portrait of F. Scott Fitzgeralad's decline is almost as fascinating as Schulberg's rise. This book is an amazing analogy of many things -- set against a winter carnival of youth and beauty!
