Matthew Joseph Bruccoli Books
Matthew J. Bruccoli was a leading literary scholar and the preeminent authority on F. Scott Fitzgerald. His lifelong passion for Fitzgerald stemmed from an early fascination with his short story 'The Diamond as Big as the Ritz,' leading to deep study and prolific writing about the Jazz Age author's life and work. Bruccoli's extensive career included authoring over fifty books, including the standard Fitzgerald biography, and editing works by both Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. Furthermore, Bruccoli was instrumental in founding the 'Dictionary of Literary Biography,' a vast reference work, leaving an indelible mark on American literary scholarship.

Hlava nehlava je kniha, která si z mnoha důvodů zaslouží čtenářskou pozornost. Jejím editorům se totiž podařil přímo husarský kousek – shromáždili do jednoho svazku veškeré Hellerovy povídky (a další drobné prózy) a umožnili tak milovníkům a znalcům jeho díla vytvořit si ucelený obraz o jeho tvorbě. Nedosti však na tom. Text totiž obsahuje nejen časopisecky publikované povídky z období po druhé světové válce, ale také dosud nikdy nezveřejněné práce. Naskýtá se nám tak dosud netušená možnost postihnou autorův spisovatelský vývoj a růst. Otevírají se nám nové obzory, nabízejí se nová, nesmírně poutavá setkání se všemi známými atributy Hellerovy literární metody a jeho výsostně originálního stylu, třebaže v jeho nejrannějších textech občas v takřka zárodečním stadiu – o to zajímavější, poučnější a někdy přímo dobrodružnější četbu však tato kniha skýtá. Součástí publikace je také autorova vlastní dramatizace významné pasáže z Hlavy XXII, jednoaktovka nazvaná Soud s Clevingerem. Následují kratší prózy týkající se především vzniku románu Hlava XXII a ohlasů na něj (půvabná je zejména část popisující Hellerův vztah k filmové adaptaci tohoto díla). Závěr knihy pak patří vzpomínce na Coney Island (což je místo, kde autor prožil dětství a mládí), která tematicky i celkovým laděním o šestatřicet let předjímá Hellerovu autobiografii Tehdy a teď.
