A fascinating study in self-satire that brings to life the Hollywood years of F. Scott FitzgeraldThe setting: Hollywood: the character: Pat Hobby, a down-and-out screenwriter trying to break back into show business, but having better luck getting into bars. Written between 1939 and 1940, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was working for Universal Studios, the seventeen Pat Hobby stories were first published in "Esquire" magazine and present a bitterly humorous portrait of a once-successful writer who becomes a forgotten hack on a Hollywood lot. "This was not art" Pat Hobby often said, "this was an industry" where whom "you sat with at lunch was more important than what you dictated in your office."The Pat Hobby sequence, as Arnold Gingrich writes in his introduction, is Fitzgerald's "last word from his last home, for much of what he felt about Hollywood and about himself permeated these stories."

伍迪老爷子在戛纳被记者问及好莱坞时提到这本书 当时就觉得好莱坞-三十年代-菲茨杰拉德 三个tag的碰撞一定很有趣 却没想到是这样带着段子性质的短篇故事合集 爱着It happened one night和Claudette Colbert的Pat Hobby就像Danny Rose一样 倒霉又可爱 脑内了一下老爷子自己来演一定棒的不得了
