The Disenchanted

Autor Budd Schulberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 apr 2013
A portrait of an age of both dazzling spirit and bitter disillusionment, based on the last drunken days of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The 1920s: a golden age, and Manley Halliday is a golden figure. But years later, in the very different atmosphere of the thirties, Halliday is a shadow of his former self, cast up on the inhospitable shores of Hollywood.

Recenzii

"[Halliday] will haunt the imagination of all who have the good fortune to be coming, for the first time, to this remarkable novel." —Anthony Burgess

"A living, breathing portrait so vivid you forget who sat for it . . . so valid esthetically that it transcends its corporeal origin and becomes at last a naked, tormented image of that rarely beheld being, a man." —James M. Cain, New York Times

"As Fitzgeraldian as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Halliday is the very essence of ‘the lost generation.’" —Library Journal
