Books in the Bloomsbury Modern Novelists Series series

This study of F. Scott Fitzgerald offers new readings of novels such as The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon. It is an essential introduction to Fitzgerald's fiction, both for first-time readers and for those aware of his reputation as one of twentieth-century America's most representative writers.

Vladimir Nabakov considers the novelist's aesthetic precepts and practice and the distinctive character of his work and the book also gives consideration of his fiction in the larger context of the modernist and postmodernist enterprise.

Much good criticism of Mrquez came in the wake of One Hundred Years of Solitude and the perception of his fiction has been dominated by that novel.
