Rated West of Sunset 10/10

I know a little bit about Fitzgerald’s biography, but it is more about his early career. Because of that, I wasn’t reading West of Sunset like a fact-checker looking to “catch” Stewart O’Nan making an error. Yes, it’s interesting that this story is based on a true one, with classic movie stars popping up and writers like Hemingway giving him shit about his output, but it’s a good book apart from all that. This is still a story about restlessness and the yearning for success, and it’s about trying to find camaraderie wherever one can.<br><br>(Full review can be found at <a href="http://persephonemagazine.com/2015/02/book-review-west-of-sunset-by-stewart-onan/">at Persephone Magazine.</a>)
