This is the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald's life as he might have told it himself while speaking to a Los Angeles book club in early December of 1940. Holding back nothing he relives the joy and the sorrow, the pain and the pleasure of one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. Author Larry Vanderveen also lectures on the life and works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. His extensive research on the author includes visits to places where Fitzgerald lived, worked, studied and played from his Princeton dormitory to the room in which he died. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and near their three daughters.
