I think it's Fitzgerald's weakest novel. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/11/2011 05:34:42 PM
It's certainly the shortest. While This Side of Paradise is seen as too slow and tentative, I think it's a much more personal novel, and The Beautiful and Damned has much more of a "New York" feel than Gatsby, even though Gatsby is touted as "New York" novel. In any event, Tender is the Night is certainly his masterpiece.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
