Life at Princeton smacks of disillusionment. College years are a time for self-discovery, but for Amory Blaine, attending Princeton in the aftermath of World War I, this stage of life takes on additional struggles. He chose the university, saying, “I think of Princeton as being lazy and good-looking and aristocratic,” but when he gets there he is faced with a barrage of career decisions and lost loves. A story of the Lost Generation defining the future of America, This Side of Paradise is the book that launched Fitzgerald’s career.
Autoren-Porträt von F. Scott Fitzgerald
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald published This Side of Paradise, his first novel, when he was just twenty-three years old. The novel’s setting seemed a natural selection since Fitzgerald was attending Princeton when he started writing it. Fitzgerald had poor grades and dropped out of college to join the army, and after several rejections, published the novel in 1920. He became an overnight success as the prolific writer of the Jazz Age.Fitzgerald went on to write the critically-acclaimed The Great Gatsby and The Beautiful and the Damned. He is associated with the Lost Generation authors, a group of American-expatriates including Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and John Dos Passos. Fitzgerald, originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, was known for his extravagant lifestyle in the States and in France. Ironically, the expatriate is named after the creator of the United States’ national anthem, his cousin.
