The Disenchanted tells the tragic story of Manley Halliday, a fabulously
successful writer during the 1920s—a golden figure in a golden age—who by the late 1930s is forgotten by the literary establishment. Based in part on a real-life and ill-fated writing assignment between the author and F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1939, The Disenchanted stands as one of the most compelling evocations of generational disillusion and fallen American stardom.

Budd Schulberg (1914-2009) was born in New York City and grew up in Hollywood, where his father was production chief of Paramount Studios and his mother a successful agent. His many novels include the classic What Makes Sammy Run? and The Harder They Fall, and his screenplay for On the Waterfront earned Schulberg an Academy Award in 1954.
