Praise for The Beautiful and Damned

The Jazz Age chronicler's first great novel

The Times

No one has written more elegiacally about America than F. Scott Fitzgerald...a sense of lost time and the irretrievability of the past gave much of his work - indeed, his life - an ineradicable undertone of mourning

Guardian

If Francis Scott Fitzgerald had not existed, it would have been necessary to invent him. Seldom has there been a character who personified, as well as chronicled, an age with such dexterity and verisimilitude

Sunday Times

None was more beautiful, none more damned, than Fitzgerald himself
