The last tycoon

THIS UNFINISHED NOVEL IS PERHAPS THE MOST HIGHLY REGARDED FRAGMENT IN AMERICAN LITERATURE, FOR IN IT, FITZGERALD'S PROSE IS SAID TO HAVE ACHIEVED ITS GREATEST POWER, FLEXIBILITY, AND ECONOMY. THE HEART OF THE NOVEL IS THE LOVE AFFAIR OF HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER MONROE STAHR WITH THE GIRL KATHLEEN WHO RESEMBLES HIS DEAD WIFE.
