The Beautiful and Damned

The Beautiful and Damned , F. Scott Fitzgerald's second novel, tells the story of Anthony Patch (a 1920s socialite and presumptive heir to a tycoon's fortune), and the relationship with his wife Gloria. The novel explores the era's generational conflict and provides a portrait of the lives of the era's Eastern elites. As all of his other novels; it is a brilliant character study and also is an early account of the complexities of mariage and intimacy that were further explored in Tender is the Night.
