A moving, controversial novel that captured both the dazzling spirit
and the bitter disenchantment of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age
THE DISENCHANTED
By Budd Schulberg
University of Minnesota Press | 400 pages | 2012
ISBN 978-0-8166-7935-5 | paperback | $18.95
Series: A Fesler-Lampert Minnesota Heritage Book
The Disenchanted tells the tragic story of Manley Halliday, a
fabulously successful writer during the 1920s who by the late 1930s is
forgotten by the literary establishment. Based in part on a writing
assignment between the author and F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1939, it
stands as one of the most compelling and emotional evocations of
generational disillusion and fallen American stardom.
PRAISE FOR THE DISENCHANTED:
"[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
"As sad a novel as any contemporary novelist has written, sometimes
heartbreakingly so . . . a magnificently done piece of work." —San
Francisco Chronicle
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Budd Schulberg (1914–2009) was born in New York City and grew up in
Hollywood, where his father was production chief of Paramount Studios
and his mother a successful agent. His many novels include the classic
What Makes Sammy Run? and The Harder They Fall. He received an Academy
Award for his screenplay for On the Waterfront in 1954.
