Disenchanted

The Disenchanted tells the tragic story of Manley Halliday, a fabulouslysuccessful writer during the 1920s—a golden figure in a golden age—who by the late 1930s is forgotten by the literary establishment. Based in part on a real-life and ill-fated writing assignment between the author and F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1939, The Disenchanted stands as one of the most compelling evocations of generational disillusion and fallen American stardom.
