Description

**THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER**

I'd Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, iconic author of The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night


All eighteen short fictions collected here were lost in one sense or another: physically lost, coming to light only recently; lost in the turbulence of Fitzgerald's later life; lost to readers because his editors sometimes did not understand what he was trying to write. These fascinating stories offer a new insight into the arc of Fitzgerald's career, and demonstrate his stylistic agility and imaginative power as a writer at the forefront of Modern literature. 

Praise for I'd Die for You:
‘Superbly edited and annotated, this richly fascinating miscellany is a marvellous reminder of what was lost when, at forty-four, a coronary killed Fitzgerald’ Sunday Times
‘Forward-thinking for their time . . . Fitzgerald was a master of short story writingThe Times
‘This much-vaunted collection of stories . . . is a ragtag bundle of surprises, curios, irrelevancies and delights . . . We can marvel at the strength of his imagination, his display of elegance and precisionSunday Telegraph
‘Readers will find much to enjoy in this gorgeously produced book’ New York Times
‘A beguiling meditation on the dark side of wealth and the American dream’ Independent

Absolutely adored this little sampler and will be buying the complete hardback tomorrow! It has all that we know and love of F. Scott Fitzgerald. This collection of short stories promises to be vibrant and sharp-witted. It seamlessly awakens 1920's New York - my favourite era! - but feels timeless and even contemporary. Delighting in all that life has to offer; at times brash and brusque, and at others, the definition of sophistication and charm. What more could you ask for? ...Except maybe a free copy of the whole book!

I enjoyed reading the story from this collection. I am certainly interested in reading the entire book based on this excerpt. I found the main character different from Fitzgerald's Flapper girl stories, and I liked how the story portrayed her moral and personal growth.
