**THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER**<BR> ‘This belated collection shows us the depths of Fitzgerald's vision and talent. Only now are we beginning to appreciate what was lost’ The Pool<BR><BR>I'd Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, iconic author of The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night. <BR><BR> 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. <BR><BR>Praise for I'd Die for You:<BR> ‘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<BR> ‘Forward-thinking for their time . . .

Fitzgerald was a master of short story writing’ The Times<BR> ‘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<BR> ‘Readers will find much to enjoy in this gorgeously produced book’ New York Times<BR> ‘A beguiling meditation on the dark side of wealth and the American dream’ Independent
