Authors Out Here: Fitzgerald, West, Parker, and Schulberg in Hollywood

Columbia: The University of South Carolina Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.2010). First Edition. Hardcover. [very nice, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to book, just the slightest bit of wrinkling to the front panel of the jacket]. Thought an examination of the Hollywood work of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nathanael West, Dorothy Parker, and Budd Schulberg, this book "explores the often tense relationship between these accomplished writers and the film industry in which they were immersed and finds that this marriage of talent and power was mutually beneficial if not always happy. Combining film studies with literary analysis, this alternative view of the creative negotiations between representative writers and the studio system advances our understanding of the meaning of authorship in the first half of the twentieth century." .
