Product Description

 
Maxwell Perkins, father of five daughters, tended to find surrogate sons in his writers, specifically F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Thomas Wolfe. This collection of 206 of Perkins's letters to and from these three, dating from the 1920s and '30s, illuminates the complexity of his feelings for them--and of theirs for each other. Perkins's devotion to his editorial task is legendary, but the love-hate relationship he had with his writers is not often seen with such clarity. Many of the facts surrounding the writing and publication of books like THE GREAT GATSBY and LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL are given here in fascinating detail.
