In 1936, Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Crack Up,
an essay about his psychological disintegration
and inability to write.
The author of The Great Gatsby was thirty-nine years old.
He died in 1940.
In 1945, Edmund Wilson published a book with the same title.
The essay is no more than fifteen percent of the book.
By today's standards, everything else in the book
would be considered Scott Fitzgerald's blog!
The rest of Mr. Wilson's Dedication is here.
