The Pat Pastime Tales
Worth:
(as of Aug 09,2023 08:25:45 UTC – Particulars)
An interesting research in self-satire that brings to life the Hollywood years of F. Scott Fitzgerald
The setting: Hollywood: the character: Pat Pastime, a down-and-out screenwriter making an attempt to interrupt again into present enterprise, however having higher luck moving into bars. Written between 1939 and 1940, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was working for Common Studios, the seventeen Pat Pastime tales have been first printed in Esquire journal and current a bitterly humorous portrait of a once-successful author who turns into a forgotten hack on a Hollywood lot. “This was not artwork” Pat Pastime typically stated, “this was an business” the place whom “you sat with at lunch was extra vital than what you dictated in your workplace.”
The Pat Pastime sequence, as Arnold Gingrich writes in his introduction, is Fitzgerald’s “final phrase from his final dwelling, for a lot of what he felt about Hollywood and about himself permeated these tales.”
