Dear listserv admin, Please post the below message to Screen-L. Also, please let me know if you'd like to review the book for your listserv. Thanks! -- 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.
