In an early series of journalistic pieces for Motor magazine, F. Scott Fitzgerald described a journey he took with his wife Zelda from Connecticut to Alabama in a clapped out automobile which he called the "Rolling Junk." It is a piece of writing whose style, in free-ranging alternation of fact and fiction, has been compared to Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat.
This book collects together the articles as one text, illustrated with the original illustrations of Fitzgerald, Zelda, and the "Junk." It features a foreword by acclaimed American travel writer Paul Theroux and a critical introduction by Julian Evans, who has written and broadcast about Fitzgerald's life and work for the Guardian and BBC Radio 3, among others.
