American novelist Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940). Time Life Pictures—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley Jul 31, 2015 6:00 PM UTC A long-lost story by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been [published](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e14733f16f6649e48f842f3c0e4ef88e/long-lost-fitzgerald-story-finally-published) 76 years after it was written. “Temperature” is running in the current issue of [_The Strand_ Magazine](https://www.strandmag.com/product/summer-issue-of-the-strand-t-jefferson-parker-f-scott-fitzgerald-short-story/) and will appear online in three months, [according to _New York_ Magazine](http://www.vulture.com/2015/07/long-lost-f-scott-fitzgerald-story-found.html). Fitzgerald wrote the story just a year before his death at a particularly troubled time in his career; he had moved to Hollywood to write movies but was not a success there, and his fiction career had stalled. He wrote to his literary agent, Harold Ober, that he had taken the liberty of submitting the story for publication to the _Saturday Evening Post_ himself, but was rejected. “Sending a story direct may be bad policy but one doesn’t consider that when one is living on money from a hocked Ford,” he wrote. The Strand’s managing editor Andrew F. Gulli discovered “Temperature” earlier this year while looking through some of Fitzgerald’s papers at Princeton University, the AP reports. The 8,000-word story seems to be a thinly veiled portrait of Fitzgerald’s own situation at the time: its protagonist is Emmet Monsen, an alcoholic writer floundering in Los Angeles. “\[A\]s for that current dodge ‘No reference to any living character is intended’—no use even trying that,” Fitzgerald wrote. Scholars of the _Great Gatsby_ author knew of the story’s existence from his correspondence, but believed it to be lost. Another rediscovered Fitzgerald story, “[Thank You for the Light](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/08/06/thank-you-for-the-light),” was published by the _New Yorker_ in 2012; the same magazine had turned it down for publication in 1936. \[[_AP_](http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e14733f16f6649e48f842f3c0e4ef88e/long-lost-fitzgerald-story-finally-published)\] **Read next:** [TIME’s Original Review of _The Great Gatsby_](http://time.com/3765539/1925-review-great-gatsby/) ## Transcript >> It's summer, and for many of us, that means it's time to read. >> The summer read, I guess, I see this having more of this that you can see through. >> It's far away, it's long ago, it's not your problem. That constitutes a good summer read as far as I am concerned. >> I think the temptation is to say a escapist fare is for the summer, but I think, you know, any book that makes you somewhat of introspective and expansive at the same time. >> All summer books would be about love. That's really all I feel like being about on the beach. >> I dine out on a different book everyday. >> So, what's on your summer reading menu? To help you get some ideas, TIME. com talked to five authors about what they'll be packing in their beach bag. >> I do my summer reading on a screen porch out on Long Island and it just kind of flows over you. >> Plenty of people will be reading Alan Furst's latest novel for their summer read. " Spies of the Balkans" is the 11th in his series of historical novels set during World War II. But what will he be reading? >> Maybe, you wanna read a big serious book and don't care about it. That's in my-- That's what's true in my case. -" The History of Byzantium" by John Julius Norwich details the rise and fall of the world's longest empire, but for Alan Furst, it's also an escape. >> It includes just a giant truckload of emperors, all the emperors you could possibly want. Empresses, scheming princesses, scheming this, scheming that. It wasn't called Byzantine for nothing. >> Kate Moses gives readers a recipe in every chapter of her memoir, Cakewalk, which chronicles how baking was often the only way she could bring sweetness to her dysfunctional upbringing, but if her sweet tooth was her salvation, so was reading. >> When I read a book that I really love, the way it describes itself to me in my head is as delicious as-- you know, almost edible. It's like dessert. >> Like any good baker, she has more than one thing to share, starting with C. E. Morgan's coming- of- age novel, " All the Living ." >> The pull is really this young woman, Aloma, who grew up in Kentucky, like C. E. Morgan, the author. She was an orphan who lived at a mission school, had nothing to her name, and the school was in a holler. It was, you know, set in the mountains. It was always in shadow and Aloma wants to be able to see the sky and she wants to be able to see all around her. >> Moses also recommends the posthumous poetry of Deborah Digges collected in a volume called " The Wind Blows Through the Doors of My Heart ." >> Summer is a time when people probably notice the season more than any other time. You're outside and it's warm and you're noticing the sun and the light on the leaves and the sound of crashing waves. And poetry is the means to capture all that. >> Her final selection just happens to be another one of our authors, Elif Batuman's book of essays, " The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them ." So, you might think that Elif Batuman will be reading some Tolstoy or Chekhov this summer. Instead, she's in love with the book of letters. >> And right now, the book that I'm reading is Mary Wollstonecraft's " Letters Written in Sweden, Norway and Denmark ." It's just kind of like road story and it's all set in the summer in this beautiful Scandinavian locale. And she is travelling with her daughter and with a French nursemaid and they're just going around, looking for the ship full of silver and meeting the locales. And the whole time, she's also-- I don't know. She's-- Part of it is about heartache and part of it is about scenery and part of it is about the social condition of Europe and she's, you know, constantly looking for signs of whether what she thought about the French revolution, like what she wrote about the French revolution-- is it, you know ,-- are her claims being strengthened or weakened by what she sees around her. But you just feel this total texture of human experience that-- with the place where she was and the reason that she was there and the people who are with her and like her thoughts about her job are all just mixed together. >> Teddy Wayne is a business writer and a humor writer, both skills that have served him well in his debut novel, Kapitoil, which tells the story of a Middle Eastern immigrant with a computer program that can predict the oil market. >> His name is Karim issar. He comes from Doha, Qatar. He comes to Wall Street in 1999. Karim has learned English through the worlds of finance and technology, so his voice is very much inflected by business jargon obviously, capitalist [ unk ]. Everything is a skill set. I will leverage my experiences to reach a short- term goal. Compartments of technological, mathematical language as well. >> Kapitoil is heralded as a book that implodes the post- 9 / 11 genre of novels, but Wayne set it 1999 which can be seen as a time of innocence or a time of ignorance. >> Ricky Martin was big. That's scary moment for all of us. >> His first summer pick also heralds from that decade when tennis star, Andre Agassi, was at the top of his game. In his memoir, Open, Agassi tells a different story. >> You don't need to be a tennis player to enjoy this book. It's not about his tennis career. It's not about sports. It's about piecing together his life. He was a very confused child. He had an abusive relationship with his father. He hated tennis. The running theme of the book is his contradictions and Agassi, the biggest one of which is that he mastered the game he despised. >> Gary Shteyngart was recently selected as one of the New Yorker's top 20 writers under 40. But he's also showing up on a lot of recommended reading lists. His third novel, Super Sad True Love Story, is one of the most anticipated books of the summer. >> Shteyngart waits all year to dive into summer reading. >> Well, because I teach creative writing, I don't get to read anything during the nine months that are not in the summer. So, I am mostly reading the works of my students which can be good, you know. It can be exciting. But the summer, it all just crashes into just one giant read. >> What are you looking forward to? What's the picnic this summer? >> I do like dystopia a lot in the summer because everything is so perfect and I just can't live without kind of happy perfection. You know, the birds are out, the bees are out. It's too much. So, I like to re- read George Orwell's Nine Eighty- Four. It is a love story and summer does excite the senses a little bit. So, you combine love and dystopia and-- >> What's summer without a little romance? And what's summer without books? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3980487/new-f-scott-fitzgerald-temperature/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3980487/new-f-scott-fitzgerald-temperature/"},"headline":"Newly Discovered F.
