description: During the last six years of his life, F. Scott Fitzgerald was an Esquire author. Between 1934 &amp; 1940, Fitzgerald sold some 45 pieces of writing to the magazine: fiction, nonfiction &amp; personal essays. This volume of the Cambridge Edition includes 13 short stories published by Fitzgerald in Esquire, together with the entire Pat Hobby Series: 17 stories about an aging screenwriter scrambling to make a living in Hollywood during the 1930s. One other story-"Dearly Beloved," submitted to Esquire but not published there-is included as an appendix. The volume provides restored, accurate texts based on Fitzgerald's surviving manuscripts, typescripts &amp; proofs. A textual apparatus records editorial decisions; explanatory notes identify people, places, literary works, historical events &amp; references to Hollywood actors, directors &amp; films. The volume also includes selected facsimiles of Fitzgerald's manuscripts &amp; typescripts for the Esquire writings.
