Dave Page, editor of The Thoughtbook of F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Secret Boyhood Diary, will be at SubText in St. Paul on Tuesday, October 8th at 7:00 PM for a reading and book signing.
When F. Scott Fitzgerald was fourteen and living in St. Paul, he began keeping a short diary of his exploits among his friends, friendly rivals, and crushes. The Thoughtbook includes a new introduction by Dave Page that covers the history and provenance of the diary, its meaning in Fitzgerald’s literary development, and what it says about Fitzgerald’s life and writing process.
"The Thoughtbook is a fascinating document. You can see the social analyst, the novelist of manners, just beginning to develop."—James L. W. West III, General Editor, Cambridge Fitzgerald Edition
