"First you take a drink," F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted, "then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you." Fitzgerald wrote alcohol into almost every one of his stories.

Sammanbrottet sammanställdes och publicerades efter Fitzgeralds död av hans vän, den framstående kritikern och redaktören Edmund Wilson. Det är en samling skrifter, initialt skrivna till hans dotter, som skildrar författarens sinnestillstånd och personliga perspektiv på händelser, författarkollegor och offentliga personer på 1920- och 1930-talen. Förutom artiklar och essäer som det berömda titelverket innehåller denna volym ett urval av Fitzgeralds anteckningsböcker, som - förutom att vara ett förråd av anekdoter och kvicka rader - ger en fascinerande inblick bakom kulisserna i romanförfattarens kreativa process, med passager som skulle omarbetas till hans fiktion.Sammanbrottet är den första i en serie med nyöversättningar av den moderna amerikanska litteraturens kanske viktigaste författare F. Scott Fitzgerald.
