Description: This volume in the Critical Insights series collects a variety of old and new essays on Fitzgerald and continues the work of rehabilitating his reputation and reexamining his work. Noble's introduction serves as a meditation on Fitzgerald's enduring relevance, pointing out how the major themes persisting across his work-wealth, success, love, youth, and tragedy-are also enduring themes within the American consciousness, and Elizabeth Gumport, writing for The Paris Review, offers a reflection on Fitzgerald's magical prose and his characters' magical thinking.
