Böcker av Sally Koslow

In 1937 Hollywood, gossip columnist Sheilah Grahams star is on the rise, while literary wonder boy F. Scott Fitzgeralds career is slowly drowning in booze. But the once-famous author, desperate to make money penning scripts for the silver screen, is charismatic enough to attract the gorgeous Miss Graham, a woman who exposes the secrets of others while carefully guarding her own. Like Fitzgeralds hero Jay Gatsby, Graham has meticulously constructed a life far removed from the poverty of her childhood in Londons slums. And like Gatsby, the onetime guttersnipe learned early how to use her charms to become a hardworking success; she is feted and feared by both the movie studios and their luminaries. A notorious drunk famously married to the doomed Zelda, Fitzgerald fell hard for his Shielah (he never learned to spell her name), a shrewd yet softhearted womanboth a fool for love and nobodys foolwho would stay with him and help revive his career until his tragic death three years later. Working from Sheilahs memoirs, interviews, and letters, Sally Koslow revisits their scandalous love affair and Grahams dramatic transformation in London, bringing Graham and Fitzgerald gloriously to life with the color, glitter, magic, and passion of 1930s Hollywood.
