Written while his wife Zelda is hospitalized for severe psychiatric disorders, this novel is the novel of maturity. Scott Fitzgerald grew, aged. We find his favorite themes, his madness, his worldly extravagance but there reigns a little taste of back season. It seems that the party is over and the time of innocence is long gone.
Largely autobiographical, Tender is the Night is the poignant story of disillusionment, nauséabond beings. Scott s bogged down. Notorious alcoholic. Disillusioned Writer. Author Weakened. Forfeiture is near. Felt. Scott is exhausted. His writings retain their power but lost their lightness, their carelessness., Their flamboyance ... to the delight of the readers here who realize the true genius of the author.
