Tender is the Night tells the story of the gifted young psychoanalyst Dick Diver and his wife and patient Nicole, opening upon their arrival at a posh French resort. Written while Fitzgerald’s wife was going through treatment for Schizophrenia, it explores topics including the possibility of a successful relationship and even the possibility of genuine mental health.

October 21, 2014F. Scott Fitzgerald was considered the quintessential author of the Jazz Age. Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1896, Fitzgerald attended Princeton University, where he began to write seriously. After joining the U.S. Army in 1917, Fitzgerald met Zelda Sayre, whom he later married. In 1920, Fitzgerald's first novel, This Side of Paradise, transformed Fitzgerald overnight into a literary sensation. The Great Gatsby followed in 1925, although it was not as popular at the time as his second novel, The Beautiful and the Damned. Fitzgerald died in 1940 of a heart attack. He was forty-four years old.
