Crazy Sunday

Joel Coles should be in the prime of his life, but the twenty-eight-year-old screenwriter has yet to accomplish anything of significance. Unfortunately, Joel is acutely aware of his own shortcomings, and the knowledge that his writing is stale and uninspired has driven him to seek solace in a bottle. His only prospects may lie in his relationship with a rich and popular Hollywood couple, Miles and Stella Calman, who are suffering problems of their own.

Despite his popularity, F. Scott Fitzgerald had a hard time finding a publisher for "Crazy Sunday" because he refused to make changes that would censor the content. Eventually, the story was picked up by the magazine American Mercury.
