TENDER IS THE NIGHT - FRANCIS SCOTT FITZGERALD ...

Tender Is the Night is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. In 1932  Fitzgerald's wife Zelda Sayre
Fitzgerald was hospitalized for schizophrenia in Baltimore  Maryland. The author rented the la
Paix estate in the suburb of Towson to work on this book  the story of the rise and fall of
Dick Diver  a promising young psychoanalyst and his wife  Nicole  who is also one of his
patients. While working on the book he several times ran out of cash and had to borrow from his
editor and agent  and write short stories for commercial magazines. The early 1930s  when
Fitzgerald was conceiving and working on the book  were certainly the darkest years of his life
and accordingly  the novel has its bleak elements. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (1896-1940) was
an American author of novels and short stories  whose works are the paradigmatic writings of
the Jazz Age  a term he coined. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers
of the 20th century.
