The Most Intimate Scott Fitzgerald "Biography"...


...Can be found on lists of the “Best Books You’ve Never Read.”
Sometimes, fiction is necessary to set the facts straight.

The Disenchanted is based on the destination of the two men in this 1939 photograph.
Hollywood had just commissioned them to write a script about the Dartmouth Winter Festival. Scott Fitzgerald–to the surprise of no one–got fired from the assignment.

His protege, Budd Schulberg, morphed the experience into a novel that is said to be out of print but can be found on the shelves of the Long Beach Public Library.
