F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Life of the Author

I just received copies of my newest book, F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Life of the Author. It made it just in time to still be part of the 2025 centennial celebrations of The Great Gatsby!

Quotes by Thomas Fahy (?)

“Emma laughed, even though she wanted to cry and scream and run away all at the same time. Jake put his arms around her, and she felt calmer. He has a mellowness that rubs off on people, Emma has noticed. But it's not just being mellow. There is something kind about him. He knows when people need him, she thinks. He knows that she needs him.”
― Thomas Fahy, Sleepless

“Emma has noticed that about Lily. Even hearing Duncan's name makes her giddy. Her plain clothes and slouched shoulders seem to disappear, and she smiles.”
― Thomas Fahy, Sleepless

“Can you speak to the dead…like your sister?"
Ms. Dupré's body seems to loosen, and her voice gets soft as a feather against your skin. "No, child. But you can say goodbye to someone even after he's gone. You just have to find a way that's right for you.”
― Thomas Fahy, Sleepless
