A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

`For those with very short attention spans and a love of alcohol, I highly recommend a collection of F Scott Fitzgerald's writing On Booze, which is cautionary in its way.' --Daily Telegraph Saturday Review

`Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of The Great Gatsby may not be out until next year, but get a Fitzgerald fix with On Booze, a collection of his intoxicating quotes. Drinking has never felt more intelligent.' --Grazia

`More problematic is On Booze, a selection of the wettest writings of the notorious two-pot screamer F Scott Fitzgerald. Ranging from the unsettling ("The Crack Up") to the unnecessary (pages of hopeful aphorisms), this is better suited to a New Year detox.' --Independent

`On Booze is a continually delightful, gift-friendly little number which is perfect for this desperate time of year. Tis the season to be trollied' --Dazed & Confused

'This agreeable and pretty little volume... is as momentary as a well-made Martini.' --The Chap

'Then I was drunk for many years and then I died, wrote Fitzgerald once, not inaccurately. This collects various alcohol-flavoured extracts by the great poet of the jazz age. As sublime as a margarita at dawn.'--Metro

'This book sums up an age just as much as it does an individual. Superb'
--Sunday Herald

Biographie de l'auteur :

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1941) was one of the literary titans of the 20th century. A member of the 'Lost Generation' of the 1920s, Fitzgerald's writings best captured what he termed 'The Jazz Age', a period of declining traditional American values, prohibition and speakeasies, and great leaps in modernist trends.
