ON BOOZE
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald
F. Scott Fitzgerald's delicious, heady, vintage collection is now presented in a fantastic gift edition, as easy to pick up as a martini.
In unforgettable aphorisms, quips, and other selections, On Booze portrays Fitzgerald's wild era as he experienced it: roaring, rambunctious, and lush—with quite a hangover.
Praise for On Booze
“There have been many drunk writers . . . But none seems to have encapsulated the glamor of alcohol like Fitzgerald.”
—The New Statesman
“A kind of subdued magic, controlled and exquisite, the sort of thing you get from good string quartettes.”
—Raymond Chandler
“Fitzgerald's prose alcohol content remains unparalleled . . . Every sentence is its own glittering world.”
—Sloane Crosley, The Yale Review
