F. Scott Fitzgerald's last completed novel Tender is the Night" is edited by Arnold Goldman with an introduction & notes by Richard Godden in " Penguin Modern Classics". Between the First World War & the Wall Street Crash the French Riviera was the stylish place for wealthy Americans to visit. Among the most fashionable are psychoanalyst Dick Diver & his wife Nicole who hold court at their villa. Into their circle comes Rosemary Hoyt a film star who is instantly attracted to them but understands little of the dark secrets & hidden corruption that hold them together. As Dick draws closer to Rosemary he fractures the delicate structure of his marriage & sets both Nicole & himself on to a dangerous path where only the strongest can survive. In this exquisite lyrical novel Fitzgerald has poured much of the essence of his own life; he has also depicted the age of materialism shattered idealism & broken dreams. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history & his masterwork " The Great Gatsby" is considered by many to be the 'great American novel'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre dubbed 'the first American Flapper' & their traumatic marriage & Zelda's gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories Fitzgerald wrote five novels " This Side of Paradise" " The Great Gatsby" " The Beautiful & the Damned" " Tender is the Night" & incomplete at the time of his death " The Last Tycoon". After his death " The New York Times" said of him that 'in fact & in the literary sense he created a "generation" '. If you enjoyed " Tender is the Night" you might like Truman Capote's " Breakfast at Tiffany's" also available in " Penguin Classics". " One of the most wonderful writers of the twentieth century".
