Fitzgerald died suddenly of a heart attack after having written the first episode of Chapter 6 of this novel. His writing method included extensive rewriting so this is truly an unfinished novel. He did leave behind notes and based on this others worked to publish this work. It gives a contrast to his other completed works.
