Reader’s Companion to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night

A reader’s guide to the Fitzgerald novel peppered with chronological inconsistencies and references to people, places, and events that most readers no longer recognize. Reconstructs the novel’s composition, publication, and initial reception, addresses key criticisms of the work, and compares Fitzgerald’s plan for restructuring the novel with Malcolm Cowley’s 1951 edition, offering line-by-line clarification of characters, terms, and chronology. Includes b&w photos and original illustrations, and appendices on revisions and deleted material. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
