About This Novel
In 1919, a young man who had just retired from the army came to New York with a manuscript in hand, hoping to make the first pot of gold in his life from this high-rise, luxuriant metropolis. This young man's name is Scott Fitzgerald. ------ In 1919, Perkin Lenders traveled through time and became an assistant editor at Liveright Publishing. He took over Fitzgerald's first draft, which was ignored, and made the book called "Heaven on Earth" sell 150,000 copies, making Fitzgerald the spokesman of the Jazz Age. "Perkin is our common father." Hemingway said. "Compared with Perkin Lenders," Ezra Pound waved his cane, "my contribution to modernism is nothing." "Perkin Lenders kicked off an era. People usually name it the Jazz Age, and Fitzgerald was the darling of this era. But compared to Perkin's outstanding contributions to modernist literature, the emergence of non-fiction novels, the development of science fiction and fantasy novels, and the arrival of the paperback era, allowing more people to enter the palace of reading. The Jazz Age is just a tassel on his ribbon of glory." The New York Times. ---- This book is also called "My Life is Slightly Larger than the History of Modern American Literature."
