Scott Fitzgerald Society Friends:During our 2019 International Conference in Toulouse, France, the membership voted to hold elections this year. A call for nominations went out in September asking for nominees for president, vice-president, and executive director (which was previously a non-elected position held by co-founder Ruth Prigozy). We also asked for nominations for seven board seats for three-year terms.What follows are candidate statements for those members who agreed to run. The candidates for president, vice president, and executive director are running unopposed. We ask that when members send in their 2019-2020 membership renewal they include this ballot. Copies of the ballot will also be available on Facebook, Twitter, and our website at www.fscottfitzgeraldsociety.org. Only 1 vote per member, and voters' membership must be paid up for 2019-2020 to be counted in the tally. Since Kirk Curnutt is running unopposed for executive director, he has agreed to count the votes. Since we also want to include the ballot in the Society newsletter, we will be accepting votes via mail or email until April 3, 2020—an appropriate date: the 100th anniversary of Scott and Zelda's wedding! Please send a copy of this page to:F. Scott Fitzgerald Society c/o Prof. Kirk Curnutt, English DepartmentTroy University, 274 Smith Hall Troy AL 36082OR you can email your vote to kcurnutt@troy.edu.

Bryer is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Maryland, where he taught undergraduate and graduate courses for 41 years. He is the co-founder of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society. Among the books he has authored, edited, or co-edited on Fitzgerald are Approaches to Teaching Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (2009), Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda: The Love Letters of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (2002), New Essays on F. Scott Fitzgerald's Neglected Stories (1996), The Critical Reputation of F. Scott Fitzgerald: A Bibliographical Study (1967; 1984), The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald: New Approaches in Criticism (1982), F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Critical Reception (1978), Dear Scott/Dear Max: The Fitzgerald-Perkins Correspondence (1971), and F. Scott Fitzgerald in His Own Time: A Miscellany (1971). He remains active in Fitzgerald studies in retirement as one of the editors of The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review and by continuing to contribute to forthcoming scholarship on Fitzgerald—an essay on the critical reception of The Beautiful and Damned in Blazek, Ullrich, and Curnutt's collection of essays on The Beautiful and Damned, the chapter on 1940 in Niklas Salmose's The Fitzgerald Composite Biography, and an essay on Fitzgerald's critical reception in the 21st century in Michael Nowlin's 2nd edition of The Cambridge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald. He is also editing F. Scott Fitzgerald Remembered, an edited collection of first-hand reminiscences of Fitzgerald, some previously published and others previously unpublished.Vice President:William BlazekIt would be a pleasure and privilege to serve the Fitzgerald Society as your Vice-President. For the past several years I have worked closely with Jackson Bryer, Kirk Curnutt, and others on the Fitzgerald Review and have also enjoyed serving with executive board members in conference organization and a variety of management and liaison activities. My involvement with the Society has also influenced the direction of my teaching and scholarship, including publications starting with the essay collection on Tender Is the Night that Laura Rattray and I co-edited. As much as my connections with the Review, Newsletter, and conferences have benefited my own interests, I would like to return the favor by taking on this new role. Besides adding international (expatriate) experience and a commitment to further enhancing the international dimension of the Society's activities, I would contribute to the development of the Society's membership facilities and resources, help to maintain or establish collaborative links with relevant organizations and institutions, and work hard to meet the expectations of both an established and new generation of members.Executive Director:Kirk CurnuttI've served informally as executive director of the Fitzgerald Society since Ruth Prigozy stepped down in 2013. Following her is a formidable task, but I think it's time to make sure the Society wants me to keep doing the job by voting. I've served on the board of the Society for twenty years now, having joined as planning for the the fabled Nice conference of 2000 kicked off. In the time since I've edited A Historical Guide to F. Scott Fitzgerald for Oxford and written The Cambridge Introduction to F. Scott Fitzgerald for Cambridge. I've helped support organizers of several of our conferences for the past ten years or so, and served myself as site director for the 2013 conference in Montgomery. I've also served as managing editor of The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review since 2003. I have two Fitzgerald related projects coming in 2020: a centennial edition of Flappers and Philosophers from Oxford's World Classics for which I wrote the intro, and an edition of the Tarleton stories called All of the Belles that will feature the trilogy together for the first time; it'll be marketed mainly in Alabama to celebrate the centennial of Scott and Zelda's marriage.Board Candidates:Anne Margaret DanielAnne Margaret Daniel teaches literature and humanities at the New School University in New York City. For the past twenty years, she's written articles, essays, notes, and reviews on topics from Oscar Wilde's trials to F. Scott and Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald to Bob Dylan and contemporary music. She has degrees in American history and English literature from Harvard (A.B.), Georgetown (M.A.), and Princeton (PhD). Her edition of Olivia Shakespear's forgotten fin-de-siècle novella Beauty's Hour was published by Valancourt in 2015, and her edition of Fitzgerald's last complete short stories, I'd Die for You and Other Lost Stories, was published by Scribner / Simon & Schuster in 2017. In 1996, as a graduate student at Princeton, she gave the welcoming lecture on Fitzgerald's college days, and has been a member of the Fitzgerald Society since 1995. She is currently working on Zelda's letters with Jackson Bryer.Sharon HamiltonThis statement serves as an expression of my interest in serving as a member of the Board for the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society.By occupying this position, I would represent the perspective of an independent scholar who works outside the traditional parameters of a university. (I work as a professional writer and researcher who also occasionally teaches.) If I were to be elected to this position, my presence on the Board would thus contribute a viewpoint widely representative of how many scholars conduct their research activities today.For over twenty years, I have contributed to the advancement of research on F. Scott Fitzgerald and other Jazz Age writers. Previous publications include “Mencken and Nathan's Smart Set and the Story behind Fitzgerald's Early Success”; “The New York Gossip Magazine in The Great Gatsby”; “Breaking the Lock: Willa Cather's Manifesto for Sexual Equality in ‘Coming, Aphrodite!’”; and a chapter on teaching Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time in the 2015 book collection Teaching Hemingway and Modernism.My forthcoming publication on “Hemingway's Superheroes” will appear in the book Hemingway and Comics (Kent State UP, 2020) and I am finalizing an article concerning depictions of electricity in The Great Gatsby.It would be an honor in the years leading up to the 100th anniversary of Gatsby—the greatest novel ever written—to serve as a member of the Board that works to promote scholarship on the extraordinary man who wrote it, and to participate in the preservation of his literary legacy.Sara KosibaI would like to serve on the board of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society because I want to contribute to the continued growth and longevity of an organization that has given me so much. I have been a fan of Fitzgerald ever since high school, and my appreciation for his works was clearly a factor that shaped my academic focus on Midwestern literature, as while Nick Carraway and I may have slightly different definitions of “my Middle West,” we clearly had a shared love of and emotional ties to the region. I have also made so many great friendships and built a network of fantastic acquaintances through my participation in the society, from the amazing folks I met at my first Fitzgerald Society conference in London (2007) to the folks I interacted with while serving as program director of the Montgomery conference (2013) to the fantastic experiences I had attending the St. Paul conference (2017) (and I was sad to miss out on the Toulouse-ing this past summer, but I jealously followed the tweets and Facebook photos).If elected to the board, I would continue to encourage the strong spirit of collegiality within the organization, encourage the financial and professional support the society provides for students (having benefited from a Kuehl Fellowship in the past), and bring my more recent experiences in managing a nonprofit academic society (The Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature) to the table to help ensure the long term sustainability of the society's mission.Martina MastandreaMy passion for F. Scott Fitzgerald is the first reason why I decided to run for this board position, the second being the fact that becoming a member of the Fitzgerald Society as a young and European Master's student showed me that academia can and should be a welcoming and inclusive space. It was around this time of the year, in autumn 2013, that I attended my first Fitzgerald Society Conference in Montgomery, Alabama. When it finished, I was already looking forward to the next conference, not only as a chance to learn more about Fitzgerald but also as an opportunity to meet again with my fellow Society members. Fitzgerald may have been right in saying that “no grand idea was ever born in a conference,” but certainly grand friendships were made in Ireland, Minnesota, and France.I have been studying F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald for seven years; my MA thesis focused on Flappers and Philosophers and my PhD dissertation on the six silent film adaptations of Fitzgerald made between 1920 and 1926. When I started my PhD in 2014, five of these films were presumed lost but, sharing with Gatsby “an extraordinary gift for hope,” after much research in 2016 I located the first film ever adapted from a work by Fitzgerald in New York. My essay on the rediscovery of the film was included in the 2016 F. Scott Fitzgerald Review. My “infinite hope” is to continue to contribute to the understanding of Fitzgerald and find new innovative ways to promote the study of his life and work in America and abroad.Philip McGowanPhilip McGowan is currently an Executive Board member of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society and is (unofficially at this point) the series editor of the Oxford University Press centennial series of Fitzgerald's works: his edition of This Side of Paradise will be published in March 2020 to coincide with the publication date (March 26) of Fitzgerald's first novel. Philip is also currently the President (2016-2020) of the European Association for American Studies (eaas.eu) and he serves on the Royal Irish Academy Committee for Languages, Literature, Culture and Communications. He is a member of the Peer Review College for the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships and in his spare time he is senior lecturer in American Literature at Queen's University Belfast. His Fitzgerald publications include “Popular Literary Tastes” in Bryant Mangum, ed., F. Scott Fitzgerald In Context (2013); “Exile & the City: F. Scott Fitzgerald's ‘The Lost Decade’” in F. Scott Fitzgerald Review (2013); “The American Carnival of The Great Gatsby” in Harold Bloom, ed. The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald (2010); “Reading Fitzgerald Reading Keats” in William Blazek and Laura Rattray, eds. Twenty-First Century Readings of Tender is the Night (2007). Along with Bill Blazek, he organized the 9th International F. Scott Fitzgerald Society Conference in London in 2007.Jennifer NolanJennifer Nolan is Associate Professor of English at North Carolina State University. Her research falls at the intersection of two interrelated domains: twentieth-century American literature, with emphases on short fiction and F. Scott Fitzgerald, and periodical studies, with emphases on illustration and the cultural, editorial, and visual contexts of popular American magazines, particularly The Saturday Evening Post, in the first half of the twentieth century.Her work on Fitzgerald's periodical fiction resituates his stories back within the magazines where they were originally published and where they found their largest audiences, and has appeared in The F. Scott Fitzgerald Review, Book History (the journal for the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing), and the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies.During her summer residency at the National Humanities Center in 2018, she began work on a book project concerning the role of women at the Post in the decade leading up to Fitzgerald's first publications there. She will also be the editor of the new Oxford World's Classics edition of Taps at Reveille and served as the program director for the 14th International F. Scott Fitzgerald Society Conference in St. Paul in 2017.Michael NowlinI am currently the Chair of the English department at the University of Victoria in Canada.I have been attending Fitzgerald Society conferences since the 1996 centennial conference at Princeton and have learned much from many of the participants over the years. Though I skipped out from 2013-17 in order to work on my book on African American fiction, I was happy to return to the fold for this past summer's excellent, very enjoyable meeting in Toulouse. I published my main contribution to Fitzgerald studies, the book F. Scott Fitzgerald's Racial Angles and the Business of Literary Greatness, over a decade ago. I am now currently editing a second edition of The Cambridge Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald, which will include six newly commissioned essays and retain slightly revised or updated versions of some of those included in Ruth Prigozy's original edition. I am also revising and updating my Broadview edition of The Great Gatsby for 2021, when it can finally be sold in the United States. I would be honored to serve as a Fitzgerald Society board member.Niklas SalmoseDr. Salmose is Associate Professor of English at Linnaeus University, where he is the of the of and the for the in English and Salmose has worked on the of F.
