Das machte ihn zum peniblen Notierer alles Erlebten, Gehörten, Gelesenen, zugleich wurden sein Leben und sein Werk zum Inbegriff des Jazz Age der Goldenen Zwanziger Jahre und der traumatischen wirtschaftlichen Krisenzeit der Dreißiger.Seit seinen College-Jahren sah Fitzgerald im Schreiben von Notebooks ein notwendiges Handwerkszeug, um ein großer Autor zu werden.

In the early morning the distant image of Cannes, the pink and cream of old fortifications, the purple Alp that bounded Italy, were cast across the water and lay quavering in the ripples and rings sent up by sea-plants through the clear shallows.Before eight a man came down to the beach in a blue bathrobe and with much preliminary application to his person of the chilly water, and much grunting and loud breathing, floundered a minute in the sea. When he had gone, beach and bay were quiet for an hour. Merchantmen crawled westward on...
