Betrayed by F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Novel
What one sees here is continuous reaffirmation of an imaginative young author in the bud.
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Carlson brings his perverse, brilliant hero to life with finely crafted dialogue, description, and commentary. The writing is superb.
--Chicago Tribune
A nervy, very witty romp through contemporary Academe reminiscent of early vintage Evelyn Waugh.
--Francine du Plessix Gray, author of At Home with the Marquis De Sade: A Life
An exuberant first novel . . . Carlson is a splendid storyteller.
--Library Journal
Ron Carlson's novel is in the coming-of-age tradition, with the contemporary attributes of humor and cool . . . I liked Larry for his unpretentiousness, his wry, caring angle on experience.
--New York Times
