Fitzgerald grew up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and attended PRINCETON University. After college, he wrote, married Zelda Sayre, and they couple lived in Paris in the 1920s. This experience proved the most influential decade of Fitzgerald's development. Scott and Zelda made many friends among the American expatriate community in Paris, notably Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, the American living in Paris and whose Salon the young people patronized. Stein labeled Hemingway and Fitzgerald the "lost generation." "Tender Is the Night" is the fourth and final novel of Fitzgerald's. Set in French Riviera during the twilight of the Jazz Age, the 1934 novel chronicles the rise and fall of DICK DIVER, a promising young psychiatrist, and his wife, NICOLE, who is one of his patients. The novel mirrors events in the lives of Fitzgerald and his wife, ZELDA, as Dick starts his descent into alcoholism and Nicole struggles with mental illness. During the protracted writing process, Zelda's mental health rapidly deteriorated and she was hospitalized in Maryland and later in Asheville, North Carolina. The title is taken from John Keats's poem, "Ode to a Nightingale." 349 pages. I offer combined shipping.
