back together. He was writing magazine
articles which were mostly rejected. He
would commit himself to write and then
say that he needed alcohol for inspiration,
claiming that his writing was sterile
and flat if he wrote sober. But then
he would get drunk and not write anything.
After a binge of heavy drinking,
Fitzgerald would go on the wagon. He
would replace the whiskey with beer and
sometimes he would replace the beer
with Coke or black coffee. Usually he
stayed with beer, which he consumed in
amounts of up to 30 bottles a day.
Fitzgerald felt
out of style. His novels represented the
jazz age. Critics were calling his work
trivial and immature. During the 1930s
the novel for the working class (proletariat)
was being praised. Fitzgerald felt
that he was out of step with this genre
and was frustrated. Tony Buttitta tried
to assure Fitzgerald that his novels were
not dated, but that they would endure
the test of time the same as the works of
Faulkner and Wolfe.
Fitzgerald did not see Thomas Wolfe
that his stories were
while he was in Asheville but had met
him earlier in Paris. He felt that Wolfe's
talent was tremendous. He met Wolfe's
mother incognito at the Old Kentucky
Home. Mrs. Julia Wolfe had dominated

out baskets full of typed paper daily while
cleaning the suite. She was also taking out a lot
of empty beer bottles.
the conversation and said that she didn't
rent rooms to drunks. He really hadn't
wanted to rent a room, but just to see
the place. He felt sorry for Tom having
to endure Mrs. Wolfe in his childhood.
Fitzgerald asked Tony Buttitta
to
check out Highland Hospital to see if it
would be suitable for Zelda. At this time
Zelda was in an institution in Baltimore.
Fitzgerald took Zelda to Highland in
1936 where she stayed for several intervals
until her death there in a fire in
1948.
Mrs. Laura Guthrie Hearne wrote
a daily journal on Fitzgerald's activities
in Asheville from June through September,1935.
Her diary is now a permanent
part of the F. Scott Fitzgerald memorabilia
at Princeton University.
Hearne, a graduate of the School of
Journalism at Columbia University, went
to Asheville from New York in 1932 for
her health. Her doctor in Asheville advised
her to stay as long as she could, so
she began telling fortunes at Grove Park
Inn to help pay some of her expenses.
