Fitzgerald’s I’d Die for You at Book Soup
Join us to hear editor Anne Margaret Daniel discuss and sign F. Scott Fitzgerald’s I’d Die for You, a collection of the last remaining unpublished and uncollected short stories by Fitzgerald, most of which were originally submitted to major magazines in the 1930s and accepted during his lifetime but never published. Some could not be sold because they departed from what editors expected of him. These stories provide a new look into his creative process and a new insight into the arc of his career.

Los Ángeles/Bell Garden’s Native Vickie Vertiz will be releasing her second book of poems Palm Frond With Its Throat Cut, next month (September). The Amazon jacket copy describes Vertiz’s book as a collection that “uses both humor and sincerity to capture moments in time with a sense of compassion for the hard choices we must make to survive. Vértiz’s poetry shows how history, oppression, and resistance don’t just refer to big events or movements; they play out in our everyday lives, in the intimate spaces of family, sex, and neighborhood. Vértiz’s poems ask us to see Los Angeles—and all cities like it—as they have always been: an America of code-switching and reinvention, of lyric and fight.”
