The Far Side Of Paradise: A Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald by Arthur Mizener
Requirements: .ePUB .MOBI Reader | 1 MB
Overview: When the original edition of the first full-length biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald appeared, a decade after the writer’s death, in 1951, it was widely acclaimed as a sensitive, scholarly appraisal of the writer’s life and work.
In later years a number of revealing studies of the novelist appeared, including Morey Callaghan’s That Summer in Paris, Sheila Graham’s Beloved Infidel, Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, and Andrew Turnbull’s biography and selection of Fitzgerald’s letters.
Drawing on these, as well as the many letters from friends and the prose and letters of the writer himself, Arthur Mizener thoroughly revised his biography, updating the final two chapters. The result is a definitive portrait of Fitzgerald — the man, his work, and his exciting, globe-trotting life.
Mizener chronicles his time spent at Princeton learning the ways of the privileged classes, which he took as inspiration for his first stories, including his first novel This Side of Paradise, where he portrayed Amory Blaine as a young man not unlike Fitzgerald himself.
He married Zelda Sayre, fathered a girl named Scott and continued to enhance his literary reputation with magazine pieces, stories and full-length books, including The Beautiful and Damned, which was met with mixed reviews.
Mizener dwells on both The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night, both inspired by characters in Fitzgerald’s life. The biography is full of interesting nuggets of information which illuminate the writer and his times, including his interactions with other writers and communication with his publishers, friends and editors.
After becoming the chronicler of the ‘flapper age’, in the 1930s Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and the committal of Zelda on account of his schizophrenia to a mental hospital. He talked often in his correspondence of money troubles and deadlines to be met, and so brings light to the somewhat difficult role of being a professional writer who wanted to be a great one.
