F. Scott Fitzgerald is a giant of American culture. He and his wife Zelda were icons of the myriad hedonistic highs and lows of the Jazz Age. Tender is the Night was a particular labour of love, and although he thought himself a failure when he died, aged just 44, his work continues to be embraced by generations of readers.
"A tragedy backlist by beauty." "-- Daily Express"For Fitzgerald desolation is a precondition of the lyrical. Hence the most distinctive impression of Tender: A beautiful novel about failure." "-- Independent"It is one of those books that you read and feel a shift... the story is told so poetically and eloquently. It is one of those books that you read and think: if I could only remember that sentence -- it is so beautiful." "--" Sam Taylor-Wood
