Paradise Lost

Más información sobre el libro

F. Scott Fitzgerald is portrayed as a complex moralist influenced by the post-WWI cultural shifts, rather than just a Jazz Age figure. David Brown explores Fitzgerald's connections to his antebellum roots and his feelings of alienation within the elite social circles. The biography delves into Fitzgerald's early life, tumultuous marriage to Zelda Sayre, and his notable friendship with Hemingway. It also highlights the contrast between his literary successes, like "Gatsby," and his struggles with alcoholism and financial decline during personal and national crises.
