The Love of the Last Tycoon

The Last Tycoon is F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished novel.  It was published in 1941 in it's rough form. Chronically Monroe Stahr, a Hollywood producer's search for love in a woman who reminds him of his wife who passed. Narrated primarily through his daughter, Cecelia, the novel also contains a lot of dialogue possibly influenced by Fitzgerald's time in Hollywood.  The novel was written while Fitzgerald worked in Hollywood for MGM and it is said that the Stahr character was based on film executive Irving Thalberg. F. Scott Fitzgerald is considered one of the great American writers with the success of The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, and Tales of the Jazz Age.  It was written in a New York Times editorial after his death that Fitzgerald "was better than he knew, for in fact and in the literary sense he invented a generation.... He might have interpreted them and even guided them, as in their middle years they saw a different and nobler freedom threatened with destruction." Look for more classic books from Green Light. Visit us at - GreenLighteBooks.tumblr.comTwitter - @GreenLightbooks and facebook.com/greenlightbooks
