A good look at a life of art -- at a piece of one, anyway,

This review is from: Crazy Sundays: F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood (Paperback)
With the exception of a bunch of books about "The Great Gatsby," I've never read a biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald other than this one.
And yet this was still very enjoyable. This is a fascinating, well-written portrait of a successful novelist trying to make it in an element that is not his own. Fitzgerald went from being acclaimed for his books and stories, to being a nobody hired to revise scripts. In Hollywood, no one seemed to care who he was, and life was always a struggle for him--an interesting struggle though, a page-turning struggle, a struggle worth reading about. Every chapter of the book is a different one of his Hollywood writing projects, and by the end of it all, you are almost certain to have a good idea not only of Fitzgerald's time in Hollywood and of him as a man who "knew more in his books than he did in real life," but of his troubled relationships, his family life, his uneven past, and his ambitions. This is a very enjoyable book that is very worth reading for any fan of his work, or for anyone interested in the writing process.
