Against the Current: As I Remember F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ring, Frances Kroll. Creative Arts Book Company, 1987. Softbound. Cover design by Charles Fuhrman. 'So we beat on,' ends The Great Gatsby, 'boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past,' a haunting last line that inspired the title of this memoir by Fitzgerald's last secretary. Ring was also editor of the Automobile Club of Southern California's Westways magazine, where she recruited talent ranging from Anaïs Nin to Wallace Stegner. Under the Jazz Age icon's employ, she typed his unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, helped settle his messy estate, and here shares fascinating reproductions of his letters and papers.
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Very gentle edge-wear. 150 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
