The Beautiful and Damned
''The Beautiful and Damned'', first published by Scribner's in 1922, is F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel. It portrays the Eastern elite during the Jazz Age, exploring New York café society.〔 As in Fitzgerald's other novels, the characters are complex, especially with respect to marriage and intimacy. The book is generally considered to be largely based on Fitzgerald's relationship with Zelda Fitzgerald.〔Milford, Nancy - ''Zelda: A Biography'', Harper & Row, New York, 1970.〕〔
== Plot summary ==
''The Beautiful and Damned'' tells the story of Anthony Patch, a 1910s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune, his relationship with his wife, Gloria, his service in the army, and his alcoholism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Amazon.com ">title=The Beautiful and Damned )〕
Toward the end of the novel, Fitzgerald sums up his own plot somewhat himself, even referencing his own first novel, when a financially successful writer friend of Anthony's tells him: "You know these new novels make me tired. My God! Everywhere I go some silly girl asks me if I've read ''This Side of Paradise''. Are our girls really like that? If it's true to life, which I don't believe, the next generation is going to the dogs. I'm sick of all this shoddy realism. I think there's a place for the romanticist in literature."〔Fitzgerald, F. Scott - ''The Beautiful and Damned'', Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1922 - pg. 421.〕〔
