[close] Join the Broad Street Readers in August, when we discuss Stewart O’Nan’s West of Sunset, a novel exploring F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time a a screenwriter in Hollywood’s golden age.

“A mesmerizing and haunting novel. . .O’Nan delivers – whole-body – the sensation that you are deep inside a living, breathing, suffering consciousness. . .Another triumph of the novel surfaces in O’Nan’s wily insinuation into Fitzgerald’s creative life, how it breathes through his everyday existence. Movingly and believingly, the manner in which a writer works – thinks, processes, assimilates, envies – is given life. And that is ultimately what makes the book so special.”—The Boston Globe
