On Booze

"First you take a drink," F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted, "then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you." Fitzgerald wrote alcohol into almost every one of his stories. On Booze gathers debutantes and dandies, rowdy jazz musicians, lost children and ragtime riff-raff into an intoxicating collection taken from The Crack-up, The Jazz Age, and other works. On Booze portrays Fitzgerald's wild era in unforgettable aphorisms, quips, and other short selections of writings: roaring, rambunctious, and lush--with quite a hangover.
