Reviews for The Beautiful and Damned

The Jazz Age chronicler's first great novel. <br> -- The Times<br><br> No one has written more elegiacally about America than F. Scott Fitzgerald... a sense of lost time and the irretrievability of the past gave much of his work -- indeed, his life -- an ineradicable undertone of mourning. <br>-- Guardian <br><br> If Francis Scott Fitzgerald had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent him. Seldom has there been a character who personified, as well as chronicled, an age with such dexterity and verisimilitude. <br>-- Sunday Times
