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 a newly compiled collection taken from The Crack-Up, and other works. On Booze portrays 'The Jazz Age' as Fitzgerald experienced it: roaring, rambunctious, and lush - with quite a hangover.
