The Last Tycoon, edited by the preeminent Fitzgerald scholar Matthew J. Bruccoli, is a restoration of the author's phrases, words, and images that were excised from the 1940 edition, giving new luster to an unfinished literary masterpiece. It is the story of Hollywood's Golden Boy, Monroe Stahr, as he battles father figures, corporate giants, and true heartache.
