1. The Complete Works Of F. Scott Fitzgerald
A collected body of novels, short stories and essays that chronicle the glitter and rot of the Jazz Age, following idealistic young protagonists and social climbers whose pursuit of wealth, status and romance exposes the hollowness beneath glamour; recurring themes include the fragility of the American Dream, romantic idealism and disillusionment, the corrosive effects of excess, and elegantly lyrical prose that illuminates both high society and its moral decay.

2. Pat Hobby's Hollywood Stories
A series of grimly comic vignettes following Pat Hobby, a once-successful screenwriter reduced to pettiness and schemes in 1930s Hollywood, as he stumbles through drunken misadventures, dodges younger rivals, and botches attempts to stay employed within the studio system; the stories satirize the film industry’s mercenary culture while blending sharp humor with a poignant portrait of professional decline and thwarted ambition.
