Written by the preeminent Fitzgerald biographer and literary critic Scott Donaldson, this book presents a fresh, insightful exploration of the war between the sexes in F. Scott Fitzgerald' s fictional and autobiographical writings. The volume opens with a close reading of Tender Is the Night, in which Donaldson argues that the key theme of the novel is warfare-the struggle between the sexes for dominance in a marriage or relationship. Other essays expand on this theme, examining Fitzgerald' s assessment of love and the American dream in The Great Gatsby, Zelda Fitzgerald' s alleged affair with the French aviator Edouard Jozan, the writer' s relationship with his fellow author Dorothy Parker, and Fitzgerald' s autobiographical writings, in which he recounts his fast, extravagant life during the Jazz Age. Engagingly written and based on a deep understanding of Fitzgerald' s life and career, Fitzgerald and the War Between the Sexes will inform and influence fans and students of Fitzgerald' s work for many years to come.
"Animated by both scholarship and passion, these essays are well worth a look for Fitzgerald fans and literature students more generally. "-Publishers Weekly "This highly accessible book will appeal immediately to Fitzgerald scholars and other readers interested in Fitzgerald' s association with the core themes of 1920s and 1930s literature-expatriation, psychoanalysis, and even technology. It is also a great guide for students, both undergraduates and graduates, who will find it a useful resource for explaining Fitzgerald' s Tender Is the Night and its central scenes.
