Reviews
" Beautiful Fools [is] F. Scott's story as well as Zelda's, and a Fitzgeraldian wistfulness prevails. This approach to the Fitzgeralds' story is the most successful of the bunch…With its contained arc and energetic plotting, Beautiful Fools takes the focus off more familiar episodes in the couple's history."- New Yorker .Com "…In Spargo's hands, the Fitzgeralds emerge as fully human, if crazed and ruined characters. . . .as they trade back and forth a valueless currency of hopes, promises and vows of loyalty. This is as far from the fantasy of DiCaprio's "Gatsby" as an asylum in Baltimore is from the Riviera, but it's the one version of the story that resists the temptation to glamorize Scott and Zelda out of their humanity."- Washington Post " Beautiful Fools is the work of a genuine literary talent...Spargo's characters transcend reality and become rich and fictional, and the novel, in the form's paradoxical brilliance (at its best, as often here) speaks truth through invention. Spargo's Fitzgeralds come alive."- The Spectator "Spargo's book is richly imagined, and paints a delightfully detailed portrait of Cuba of 1939. It's a positively delicious travelogue."- Chicago Tribune " Beautiful Fools skillfully evokes Cuba at the end of the 1930s, redolent of the music and scents and tastes of the tropics. Beyond the customary tourist haunts, adventure and danger seem to lurk in every bar and cafe, along every road and deserted beachfront…Writing in third person, and alternating between Scott's and Zelda's perspectives, Spargo describes the imperfect communion of two troubled souls who can't quite let go of their past or each other."- Boston Globe, Praise for the work of R. Clifton Spargo: ""Spargo's emotionally gripping stories are smart, taut, and unpredictable. He's a welcome new voice in American fiction."--Tom Perrotta, author of Election and Little Children "Spargo's voice is capable of articulating certain ranges of experience only rarely now available to us…At once we are in contemporary America and also in a timeless space of personal loss…His work seems to me marked for permanence."--Harold Bloom, Praise for the work of R. Clifton Spargo: ""Spargo's emotionally gripping stories are smart, taut, and unpredictable. He's a welcome new voice in American fiction."--Tom Perrotta, author of Election and Little Children "Spargo's voice is capable of articulating certain ranges of experience only rarely now available to us…At once we are in contemporary America and also in a timeless space of personal loss…His work seems to me marked for permanence."--Harold Bloom "Spargo's voice is entirely his own and is capable of articulating certain ranges of experience only rarely now available to us. At once we are in contemporary America and also in a timeless space of personal loss . . . His work seems to me marked for permanence."--Harold Bloom "It takes a brave novelist to tackle Scott and Zelda, those mythic ghosts of the Jazz Age. Luckily, Spargo is more than just brave-- Beautiful Fools is a vivid and revealing look at two charismatic, self-destructive people, and the love that sustained and ruined them. It's a real feat of historical imagination and novelistic empathy."--Tom Perotta, author of Election and Little Children "Here is a writer possessing the greatest talent: that of fully inhabiting the lives of others. Spargo conjures up these two as no one has done before. Scott and Zelda become, in Spargo's remarkable novel, not people of history but of literature, and reminders of what we fight for, what we fail to win, and the beauty that abides between. A marvel of a book."--Andrew Sean Greer, author of The Story of a Marriage "In a voice both intimate and expansive, tender and shrewd, R. Clifton Spargo manages to do the near impossible: craft a story worthy of his iconic subjects." --Holly Goddard Jones, author of The Next Time You See Me, Praise for the work of R. Clifton Spargo: "Here is a writer possessing the greatest talent: that of fully inhabiting the lives of others. Spargo conjures up these two as no one has done before. Scott and Zelda become, in Spargo's remarkable novel, not people of history but of literature, and reminders of what we fight for, what we fail to win, and the beauty that abides between.

Synopsis
In this evocative and meticulously detailed novel about the last romance of one of America's greatest literary couples, R. Clifton Spargo crafts an exhilarating portrait of the passionate yet tragically dysfunctional relationship between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald., In 1939 Scott is living in Hollywood, a virulent alcoholic and deeply in debt. Despite his relationship with gossip columnist Sheila Graham, he remains fiercely loyal to Zelda, his soul mate and muse. In an attempt to fuse together their fractured marriage, Scott arranges a trip to Cuba, where, after a disastrous first night in Havana, the couple runs off to a beach resort outside the city. But even in paradise, Scott and Zelda cannot escape the dangerous intensity of their relationship. In Beautiful Fools, R. Clifton Spargo gives us a vivid, resplendent, and truly human portrait of the Fitzgeralds, and reveals the heartbreaking patterns and unexpected moments of tenderness that characterize a great romance in decline.

Stamp collection is as described and is in mint condition. The original plastic wrap is unopened but has shrunk somewhat which is common. In my opinion this is a good value. Also, thanks for the receipt which for some reason some sellers neglect.
