Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and the Damned includes an introduction by Geoff Dyer in Penguin Modern Classics.   Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria are the essence of Jazz Age glamour.\r\n\r\n A brilliant and magnetic couple, they fling themselves at life with an energy that is thrilling. New York is a playground where they dance and drink for days on end. Their marriage is a passionate theatrical performance  they are young, rich, alive and lovely and they intend to inherit the earth.\r\n\r\n But as money becomes tight, their marriage becomes impossible. And with their inheritance still distant, Anthony and Gloria must face reality  they may be beautiful - but they are also damned.   F.\r\n\r\n Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork The Great Gatsby is considered by many to be the 'great American novel'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed 'the first American Flapper', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda's gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and, incomplete at the time of his death, The Last Tycoon.\r\n\r\n After his death The New York Times said of him that 'in fact and in the literary sense he created a \"generation\" '.
