Reviews
YA-An essential book for anyone interested in Fitzgerald. This marvelous encyclopedia encompasses not only facts about the writer's life and works, but also his family, his influence (and influences upon him), and even his editors. One need only turn to an alphabetical listing of a title, a character, or even a friend (or associate) to find concise and insightful information. The Great Gatsby is required reading in most high schools today, and this book is the ultimate research tool for anyone interested, either by choice or assignment. Unfortunately, most young adults will explore its gems of information solely because they are compelled to do so. Mature readers, once they begin perusing this excellently written and catalogued work, may find themselves reading everything by Fitzgerald, the addicting voice of not only the "Lost Generation," but of every generation that is emotional or romantic, or both.

This addition to the publisher's handsome Literary A to Z series chronicles Fitzgerald's life and work, from the Abbot, a character in a series of stories set in the early medieval period, to "Zone of Accident," a story published in the Saturday Evening Post (after two earlier versions were rejected) in 1935. Includes a chronology, an extensive bibliography, and both a category and a general index. Zelda's literary output is covered as well. Other Literary A to Z titles treat Agatha Christie, James Joyce, Mark Twain, Shakespeare, and Virginia Woolf.
