xv, 168 pp. ...gives the richest account to date of the Fitzgerald/Hemingway relationship. Not only does it set the dates, but it also provides psychological profiles of two of America's greatest writers. Mr. Bruccoli points out that partisans have been moved to make comparative judgments on Fitzgerald and Hemingway, attempting to defend the stature of one by diminishing the other. This procedure often adduces biographical evidence, but the personal relationship between Fitzgerald and Hemingway has been mythologized. Things that never happened have been printed as facts. What did happen has been distorted. Hemingway is the only source for some of the most widely repeated anecdotes about Fitzgerald.--jacket
