«The Crack-Up» is a collection of essays and letters by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (160 pages, in English).
The volume brings together essays, letters and other texts in which Fitzgerald examines his personal decline at thirty-nine, from the success of the Jazz Age to exhaustion and subsequent recovery. It includes correspondence with Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton and T. S. Eliot, as well as pieces reflecting his role as a symbol of a generation and the price of his own legend.
The edition belongs to the Penguin Modern Classics collection of 1986; the volume was compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson after the author's death.
For readers of American literature and followers of F. Scott Fitzgerald interested in his more personal and essayistic side.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, widely known as F. Scott Fitzgerald or simply Scott Fitzgerald, was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is most notable for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age, a term that he popularized in his short story collection Tales of the Jazz Age. He published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. He achieved transient success and fortune in the 1920s, but did not receive critical acclaim until after his death. He is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.
