Scott Fitzgerald Society Conference in Toulouse, France, on 26 June 2019, examines the relevance of the Freudian concept of the death drive to works gathered in I'd Die for You and Other Lost Stories, a collection of previously unpublished short fiction edited by Anne Margaret Daniel and published in 2017. A leading proponent of psychoanalytic theory in literary studies, a practicing psychoanalyst, and the translator of I'd Die for You into French, Amfreville examines the lurking recognition of the preeminence of death in three specific pieces in the collection: the title text, \"Nightmare (Fantasy in Black),\" and \"The Women in the House (Temperature).\" As the article demonstrates, even when Fitzgerald appended comic twists and happy endings to these 1930s efforts—none of which appeared in print during his lifetime—there remained within his attempts at literary resolution an awareness that the primal instinct of life is not toward organic fulfillment but toward the inertia of the state that precedes being—namely, nonbeing. Against the \"infinite immobility of prevailing death,\" the creative instinct can only proffer a displacement of that inexorable fact of existence, so that \"the very act of creation functions as a way to hide the void and simultaneously to give it a shape.\"","PeriodicalId":40217,"journal":{"name":"F Scott Fitzgerald Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"29 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44557567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scott Fitzgerald was a lieutenant. Venable's lively recollections of Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre in Camp Sheridan outside Montgomery, Alabama, offer insight into daily life and military protocol at the time; his claim that Fitzgerald ranked highest in IQ in the regiment helps substantiate the belief that Fitzgerald's intelligence has been highly underrated—something as true today as it was during the years Elmore spent working on his book-length study of The Great Gatsby from which this is an excerpt. It is published with the permission of both the Elmore and Venable families.
