Force Majeure, and two companion novellas under the title The Empty Chair.One of his six favorite books, as shared with readers of The Week magazine:
Big Sur by Jack KerouacRead about the other books on the list.
Kerouac virtually resides in my American DNA, but I came to him late. In Big Sur, the author's stand-in goes through a breakdown that shares a lot in common with Fitzgerald's general crack-up at the juncture of early fame and alcoholism. The story is suffused with the beauty of impermanence and emptiness.
--Marshal Zeringue
