The Crack-Up

Essay by Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Blurb

The Crack-Up is a collection of essays by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. It consists of previously unpublished letters, notes and also three essays originally written for and published first in the Esquire magazine during 1936. It was compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after Fitzgerald's death in 1940.
The main essay starts "Of course all life is a process of breaking down ...." which gives something of the tone of the piece.
