Fitzgerald's witty and sharp writing style combined with his insider knowledge of Hollywood at the time makes these stories both entertaining and thought-provoking. This collection is a valuable look into the glamorous yet cutthroat world of the Golden Age of Hollywood. F. Scott Fitzgerald's own experiences in Hollywood during the 1930s inspired 'The Pat Hobby Series.'
