Reviews

Berret's engaging book shows just how rewarding such musical excavation can be when combined with a cultural studies approach. It functions as a highly worthwhile entry point for new scholars of Fitzgerald, and rewards existing scholars' attention. It is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the multifaceted, modernist traits of Fitzgerald's style, and his personal struggles between his identity as a Post author and his novel-writing career. Berret seeks to enable Fitzgerald's music to be heard, and `to have a distinct and meaningful voice in the literary text.' In this endeavor, he has certainly succeeded. * Resources for American Literary Study *
