Author Stewart O'Nan

Award Winning author Stewart O'Nan joins us to talk about his new book "West of Sunset". F Scott Fitzgerald in the last three years of his life, which are often obscured by the legend of his earlier Jazz Age glamour, are the focus of this gracefully written novel. With flashbacks to key moments from Fitzgerald’s past, the story follows him as he arrives on the MGM lot, falls in love with brassy gossip columnist Sheilah Graham, begins work on The Last Tycoon, and tries to maintain a semblance of family life with the absent Zelda and daughter, Scottie.

Stewart's previous books include Snow Angels, A Prayer for the Dying, Last Night at the Lobster, and Emily, Alone. Books will available for purchase and signing courtesy of Macs Backs Books on Coventry.
