On Booze 1st edition

A collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald?s best drinking stories makes this the most intoxicating New Directions Pearl yet!

?First you take a drink,? F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted, ?then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.? Fitzgerald wrote alcohol into almost every one of his stories. On Booze gathers debutantes and dandies, rowdy jazz musicians, lost children and ragtime riff-raff into a newly compiled collection taken from The Crack-Up, and other works never before published by New Directions. On Booze portrays ?The Jazz Age? as Fitzgerald experienced it: roaring, rambunctious, and lush ? with quite a hangover.
