Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I didn’t find Tender is the Night all that interesting. It’s the story of a guy falling apart after he has a brief affair with a younger woman. Why exactly that should make him fall apart, I don’t know. He’d been doing OK having an insane wife. You’d think if he can manage that he can swing a simple affair. I guess we’re supposed to come to understand that he was never that solid to begin with, that it was all superficial and hollow.
Anyway, the internet says some of this mirrored F. Scott’s own life which I guess adds a dimension if you care about F. Scott’s own life. Fitzgerald is always an easy read. I had no trouble getting through it; I just can’t imagine remembering it in a few years.
