DESCRIPTION:
The novel, much revised, was published as This Side of Paradise in March 1920 to great critical acclaim and the couple were married a week later. At Princeton University he decided to become a writer, leaving without graduating in 1917 to join the army when America entered the First World War. Instead he was assigned to a camp in Alabama, where he met Zelda Sayre and fell in love. Believing he would be killed at the front, he hurriedly wrote his first novel, but was not sent to Europe. Fitzgerald earned only modestly from his novels, living on short stories and screenwriting. Scott Fitzgerald
Published in 1922, the eleven Tales of the Jazz Age feature the flappers and lost young men of the period as well as a great variety of characters and scenes. Among them, the critically acclaimed novella 'May Day' contrasts drunken debutantes with a mob of war veterans battling socialists in the streets, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', filmed with Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton, is a fantasy about a man who ages in reverse, and 'A Diamond as Big as the Ritz' is a surreal fable of excess.With an Afterword by Ned Halley.
