By: F. Scott FITZGERALD (1896 - 1940)
This Side of Paradise is the debut novel of
F. Scott Fitzgerald. Published in 1920, and taking its title from a line
of the Rupert Brooke poem Tiare Tahiti, the book examines the lives and
morality of post-World War I youth. Its protagonist, Amory Blaine, is a
wealthy and attractive Princeton University student who dabbles in
literature and has a series of romances that eventually lead to his
disillusionment. In his later novels, Fitzgerald would further develop
the book's theme of love warped by greed and status-seeking. (Summary
