I'd Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, iconic author of The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night .
All eighteen short fictions collected here were lost in one sense or another: physically lost, coming to light only recently; lost in the turbulence of Fitzgerald's later life; lost to readers because his editors sometimes did not understand what he was trying to write. These fascinating stories offer a new insight into the arc of Fitzgerald's career, and demonstrate his stylistic agility and imaginative power as a writer at the forefront of Modern literature.
Praise for I'd Die for You :
'Superbly edited and annotated, this richly fascinating miscellany is a marvellous reminder of what was lost when, at forty-four, a coronary killed Fitzgerald' Sunday Times
'Forward-thinking for their time . . . Fitzgerald was a master of short story writing ' The Times
'This much-vaunted collection of stories . . . is a ragtag bundle of surprises, curios, irrelevancies and delights . . . We can marvel at the strength of his imagination, his display of elegance and precision ' Sunday Telegraph
'Readers will find much to enjoy in this gorgeously produced book' New York Times
'A beguiling meditation on the dark side of wealth and the American dream' Independent

F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1896 in St. Paul (Minnesota) geboren, hatte nach den Studienjahren in Princeton mit 24 Jahren sein Ziel erreicht: Sein erster Roman 'Diesseits vom Paradies' machte ihn auf einen Schlag berühmt und reich, mit seiner Frau Zelda stand Fitzgerald im Mittelpunkt von Glanz und Glimmer. 'Der große Gatsby', sein heute meistgelesenes Buch, war jedoch ein finanzieller Flop. Alles endete im schrecklichen Kater der Wirtschaftskrise. Alkohol, Zank und Geldprobleme zerstörten die Ehe mit Zelda. Um Geld zu verdienen, ging Fitzgerald 1937 als Drehbuchautor nach Hollywood, wo er 1940 starb.
