"Reading these learned and accessible essays, one is struck anew by Scott Donaldson's kinship with the authors he studies. From these great prose stylists, he inherits a gift for crisp, clear prose, wry humor, and an unerring eye for the telling anecdote. Few match either Donaldson's broad knowledge of his subjects or the affable critical clarity he brings to his readings of their lives and texts." — Jennie Kassanoff, Barnard College
"What a pleasure it is to have Scott Donaldson's clear-eyed, insightful, and above all gracefully written essays on F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway available in one volume. His many years as a careful and attentive reader, his knowledge of the relevant scholarship, and his command of unpublished manuscripts and letters are apparent on every page." — Jackson R. Bryer, University of Maryland
"Well-researched and masterfully written." — Library Journal
"Two very influential American writers are made more approachable through the means of brilliant biography." — Bill O'Donovan, Virginia Gazette
"Splendid, erudite." — Los Angeles Times
"Provides an essential collection of essays for easy reference." — Hemingway Review
"Donaldson’s work is impeccably researched and continually relevant to the critical conversations that swirl through Fitzgerald/Hemingway studies. " — Michael D. Dubose, F. Scott Fitzgerald Review
"As evidenced by Fitzgerald and Hemingway: Works and Days, Donaldson continues to show himself as a beacon in American literary scholarship, a major voice with 'an awareness of the interconnectedness between biography and criticism.'" — Joseph Fruscione, American Literary Scholarship
