F Scott Fitzgerald (Life&Times) (Paperback) Sheila Schwartz

The success of his first novel This Side of Paradise gave F. Scott Fitzgerald both celebrity and financial independence, enabling him to marry his "golden girl," Zelda Sayre. They became the quintessential couple of the Jazz Age, the heady and exciting years of the twenties before the Wall Street crash. Tragically the glamor and decadence of their early years would dissolve into Zelda's alcohol-induced schizophrenia and, for Fitzgerald, a precarious life in Hollywood that would end in early death. This introductory biography, part of the Life&Times series, is a comprehensive account of Fitzgerald's literary triumphs and personal misfortune.
