From Library Journal
In honor of Fitzgerald's birthday centennial, the University of South Carolina and its press are rolling out the red carpet with a celebration rivaling a party at Gatsby's. The publisher is releasing an unprecedented three volumes by or about the great writer, all of which have been edited by leading Fitzgerald biographer and scholar Bruccoli. The Centenary Exhibition is the program of a unique display of Fitzgerald memorabilia from Bruccoli's private collection on view at the university's Thomas Cooper Library in Columbia (and available on a web site at ). Fie! Fie! Fi-Fi! is a facsimile of the script for the two-act musical comedy written by Fitzgerald as a Princeton undergraduate in 1914. The show will be staged for the first time in 82 years as part of the university's festivities. On Authorship collects 46 pieces that present a portrait of Fitzgerald as both a commercial writer and literary artist. The selections include letters, notebook entries, book reviews, and articles that highlight Fitzgerald's discipline and dedication to the craft of writing. This centenary trilogy is the literary publishing event of the year and the perfect way to honor one of our nation's greatest men of letters. For Fitzgerald aficionados, it is a celebration just this side of paradise. Highly recommended.?Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"
