Fitzgerald, F Scott

Themes: the psychological damage of war; money and power; innocence, youth and love; the man of potential who squanders his talent
Overview
Fitzgerald's last completed novel, Tender has an autobiographical poignancy with its depiction of Dick Diver, a potentially brilliant psychiatrist who fails to negotiate the vicissitudes of his own life. Themes exploring youth and innocence, love, and the dark side of the American dream, woven together in Fitzgerald's beautiful prose, make this an enduring literary classic.
