Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Modern Library Classics. Introduction by Susan Orlean. Commentary & Reading Group Guide. 334pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "THIS SIDE OF PARADISE is the book that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the prophet and golden boy of the newly dawned Jazz Age. Published in 1920, w…hen he was just twenty-three, it is the story of Amory Blaine, a privileged, aimless, and self-absorbed Princeton student whose journey from prep school to college to the First World War is a prescient account of what Gertrude Stein would later call the Lost Generation. Fitzgerald memorably describes Amory and his contemporaries as 'a new generation . . . grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken.' An exuberant pastiche of literary styles, this dazzling, virtuosic chronicle of youth remains recognizably relevant today." [publisher copy] "As nearly perfect as such a work could be . . . The glorious spirit of abounding youth glows throughout this fascinating tale. Amory, the romantic egotist, is essentially American."--The New York Times. "THIS SIDE OF PARADISE commits almost every sin that a novel can possibly commit," wrote Edmund Wilson. "But it does not commit the unpardonable sin: it does not fail to live. The whole preposterous farrago is animated with life." Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
