<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Introduction by Hortense Calisher</b><br> <b>Commentary by Edmund Wilson, Henry Seidel Canby, and Arthur Mizener</b><br> <b> </b><br> Fitzgerald's second novel, a devastating portrait of the excesses of the Jazz Age, is a largely autobiographical depiction of a glamorous, reckless Manhattan couple and their spectacular spiral into tragedy. Published on the heels of <i>This Side of Paradise, </i>the story of the Harvard-educated aesthete Anthony Patch and his willful wife, Gloria, is propelled by Fitzgerald's intense romantic imagination and demonstrates an increased technical and emotional maturity. <i>The Beautiful and Damned </i>is at once a gripping morality tale, a rueful meditation on love, marriage, and money, and an acute social document. As Hortense Calisher observes in her Introduction, "Though Fitzgerald can entrance with stories so joyfully youthful they appear to be safe--when he cuts himself, you will bleed." <p/><b>Includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide</b> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Full of precisely observed life." --<b>Arthur Mizener</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hortense Calisher </b>(1911<i>-</i>2009)<i> </i>was the author of more than twenty books, including the National Book Award nominees <i>False Entry, Herself, </i>and <i>The Collected Stories of Hortense Calisher</i>.
