Journal Article
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD AND THE ART OF LIFE
2015
Overview
Tender Is the Night demonstrates the imbrication of life and art, the contingency of Fitzgerald's imagination, and the treachery of both the writer's prerogative and the reader's literal-mindedness. Partly because of its intimacy, the novel long gestated; ironically, because of its personal nature, the book was vastly undervalued when it finally appeared in 1934, and it never achieved the critical stature its author expected. Perhaps Fitzgerald was just too close to his work -- or his fiction was too close to the bone. To this day the legend of Zelda and Scott is far better known than the heartbreaking narrative of Dick and Nicole Diver. Here, Bell examines historical accounts of the Fitzgeralds in the novel that would help its reader see both the vexing relationship between autobiography and fiction and also the remarkable imaginative achievement of the novel.
