Tender Is the Night

“The Night Is Tender” is an incredibly delicate and deeply psychological novel by an American classic author, which many critics even rank above “The Great Gatsby,” and the author himself called it “his most beloved work.” And that’s no accident: the book is in many ways autobiographical. Fitzgerald describes in it the downside of his outwardly luxurious life with his wife Zelda. The cherished American dream, turned into true tragedy. In the story of the moral degradation of a talented psychiatrist, he put the pain and suffering he himself experienced while fighting Zelda’s schizophrenia… But this is not a book about illness or death—it’s about love.
