"The Last Tycoon" was the last novel Fitzgerald wrote during his lifetime, but it was unfinished. Its theme is completely consistent with Fitzgerald's consistent creative ideas. Through the characterization of the characters and the truthful depiction of the world around them, Fitzgerald more powerfully demonstrated his profound understanding of the spiritual essence of the "American Dream" and his strong awareness of the "American Tragedy". In this unfinished work, Fitzgerald seems to have combined two novels into one work: it is both a "psychological novel" that describes personal struggles and spiritual experiences, and a "social novel" that reflects the real scenes of Hollywood and exposes the dark inside story of the film industry. Fitzgerald used his extremely high literary talent and extraordinary ability to control materials to organically integrate these two creative ideas, giving this novel a strong shocking and tragic effect.
