Overview

1920's This Side of Paradise The Lovely and the Damned (1922) 1925's The Great Gatsby 1934's Tender Is the Night The Last Tycoon's Love (1941) Fitzgerald's debut book, This Side of Paradise, brought him acclaim and wealth. Although it is a young work, it was the first novel to foresee the decade's hedonistic generation. His reputation grew thanks to a similar book called The Beautiful and Damned. Although The Great Gatsby wasn't as well-known as Fitzgerald's earlier books, it was his best work and the first of three more novels that would make him a major literary figure in the future. The affluent bootlegger Jay Gatsby is at the centre of this entertaining yet morally challenging book. It offers a scathing critique of the moral void Fitzgerald observed in prosperous American culture in the 1920s. The overall fall of a select group of gorgeous Americans in Europe is the subject of F. Scott Fitzgerald's next book, Tender Is the Night, which is brilliantly written but disconnected.
