Scott Fitzgerald's first novel, written when the author was twenty-four, appeared in 1920 and immediately established him as a leading literary figure in the brilliant and dangerous world of 1920s America. The novel tells the story of a spoilt child in search of happiness. Pampered as a child, wealthy, brilliant at school, Amory Blaine looks for the love of others but only finds himself. A short, sharp masterpiece with an intriguing religious undertow, this is also a touchingly autobiographical novel which reflects ominously on Fitzgerald's own future.

Reviews for This Side Of Paradise

The book that established Fitzgerald's reputation as the chronicler of a doomed generation of young Americans between the wars. Amory Blaine resolves to rebel against his staid, mid-western upbringing and to gain a a patina of east coast sophistication: in his quest for sexual and intellectual enlightenment he embarks on a series of relationships through which he learns that money cannot buy love, before he finds himself cast adrift in the real world.
