“As I read this novel, line by line, I was impressed all over again by how amazing the writing is. The dignity never wavers, and it says everything that needs to be said.” —Haruki Murakami, The New York Times

“Renowned Fitzgerald scholar Bruccoli has reassembled the…existing episodes according to Fitzgerald’s intentions. A significant glimpse into the creative faculties of one of literature’s preeminent minds. Essential….” —Library Journal

“Bruccoli’s introduction and account of the composition of the novel are sensitive and nuanced, the result of a lifetime of Fitzgerald study. The book has marvelous set pieces, vivid cinematic images, and sustained invention…a few of the reasons the book endures.” —David Freeman, The Los Angeles Times

“A new, fascinating perspective on Fitzgerald’s work, and the novel writing process in general.” —David Wiegand, The San Francisco Chronicle

“No other Fitzgerald-related work [Bruccoli] has done is likely to be as important as his critical editions of the major works. The Love of the Last Tycoon carries the authority of a great writer working very close to the top of his form.” —Scott Donaldson, Chicago Tribune Books
