"Adams shines welcome light on the popular-culture background of several overlooked stories [...] draws from abundant theory to offer provocative interpretations of scenes that rarely inspire much interpretation at all.--Kirk Curnutt ""The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review"" Jade Broughton Adams' book opens new and important territory in F. Scott Fitzgerald studies. This is an investigation of Fitzgerald's understanding of the popular culture of his time. Adams identifies the influences of music, dance, theatre, and film on his short fiction, still the most neglected part of his oeuvre. The writing in this book is sprightly and the research impeccable.-- ""James L. W. West III, General Editor, Cambridge Fitzgerald Edition"""
