A review by grb8
Tender Is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
5.0
I’m too tired for a lengthy review as I spent the better part of the night finishing this book. But, I’ll say, this may usurp Gatsby as Fitzgerald’s true masterpiece — as some have argued. Formally, it’s his most daring work and what he does with shifting perspectives and voices between the Divers crafts a tragic duet between the two. Thematically, it’s remarkably focused and considered. Every choice is weighty. It’s a shame the reception of this novel made him question it before his death, because the sureness in his writing truly makes this a wonderful consideration of youth, love, modernity, globalism and class — the chorus behind everything here as it is in Gatsby.
