末代大亨的情缘 (The Love of the Last Tycoon)

《末代大亨的情缘》通过对施塔尔这一人物性格的刻画和对他周围世界的如实描绘，菲茨杰拉德更加遒劲有利地表现了他对"美国梦想"的精神实质的深刻理解和对"美国悲剧"的强烈的忧患意识。在这部未竟之作中，作者似乎把两部小说糅合进了同一部作品中：它既是一部描写门罗·施塔尔的个人奋斗和精神经历的"心理小说"，又是一部反映好莱坞的真实场面，揭露影业界的黑暗内幕的"社会小说"。作者以极高的文学天赋和非凡的驾驭素材的本领，把两条创作思路有机融合在一起，使这部小说具有了强烈的震撼力和悲剧效应。(The Love of the Last Tycoon expresses the author's deep understand to American dream and worry to American tragedy through the portrayal of the character and the true depiction of the world around him. In this work, the author seems combining two works into one: It is not only a psychological novel about Monroe's personal struggle and spiritual experience", it is also a reflection of the Hollywood of the real scene, exposing the dark circles inside "social novels". The author using high literary talent and extraordinary ability to control material combined the two creative ideas organically together, so that the novel has a strong shock and tragic effect.)
