The novel's new incarnation, "This Side of Paradise", a largely autobiographical story about love and greed, was centered on Amory Blaine, an ambitious Midwesterner who falls in love with, but is ultimately rejected by, two girls from high-class families. The novel was published in 1920 to glowing reviews and, almost overnight, turned Fitzgerald, at the age of 24, into one of the country's most promising young writers. One week after the novel's publication, he married Zelda Sayre in New York. They had one child, a daughter named Frances Scott Fitzgerald, born in 1921. In 1922, Fitzgerald published his second novel, "The Beautiful and Damned", the story of the troubled marriage of Anthony and Gloria Patch. The Beautiful and Damned helped to cement his status as one of the great chroniclers and satirists of the culture of wealth, extravagance and ambition that emerged during the affluent 1920s-what became known as the Jazz Age.

Romanen Natten er blid udkom i USA i 1934. Det er F. Scott Fitzgeralds mest ambitiøse værk om mellemkrigstidens fortabte generation, og også den mest selvransagende. Der er en god portion af Fitzgeralds ombruste ægteskab med Zelda i denne skildring af ægteparret Dick og Nicole Diver, der er bosat på den franske Riviera. Divers er rige, smukke, dejlige - og frem for alt sjove at være sammen med. Men facaden holder ikke i længden, og deres kærlighed styrer mod afgrunden."Den gør mig så bedrøvet" skrev Zelda i et brev til Scott, "nok især fordi den er så smukt skrevet".

Nick Carraway's mysterious neighbour Gatsby gazes across the dark bay at a distant green light.

An entertaining and eclectic miscellany that sheds light on the author and his times, The Crack-Up is an invaluable companion to such well-known works as The Great Gatsby and Tender Is the Night.

She was an impulsive, fashionable and carefree 1920s woman who embodied the essence of the Gatsby Girl -- F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. As Fitzgerald said, ""I married the heroine of my stories."" All of the eight short stories contained in this collection were inspired by Zelda. Fitzgerald, one of the foremost writers of American fiction, found early success as a short story writer for the most widely read magazine of the early 20th century -- the Saturday Evening Post. Fitzgerald's stories, first published by the Post between 1920 and 1922, brought the Jazz Age and the "flapper" to life and confirmed that America was changing faster than ever before. Women were bobbing their hair, drinking and flirting shamelessly, and Fitzgerald brought these exciting Gatsby Girls to life in the pages of the Post. -- Back cover
