The I.O.U.

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Overview

"Non-fiction is a form of literature that lies half-way between fiction and fact."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald, The I.O.U. (1920)

The I.O.U. by F. Scott Fitzgerald was written early in his professional career, submitted to Harper's Bazaar magazine in 1920, and rejected. The story, published posthumously, offers a satirical take on the publishing world and describes how publishers sensationalize the news to the point of fictionalizing a death. An amusing story with a message, this is for those who wish to see the humorous side of Fitzgerald and a glimpse of the early Roaring Twenties.
