The wise writer, I think, writes for the youth of his own
generation, the critic of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever
afterward. Following the education and young life of Amory Blaine,
from indulged only child to disillusioned war veteran, This Side of
Paradise is a thinly veiled account of Fitzgerald's time as a
Princeton undergraduate and an aspiring writer set against the
turbulent background of adolescence, first loves, and the outbreak
of World War I. Amory moves through a dynamic whirl of exuberant
youth, university escapades and adventures home and abroad as one
of a new, restless American generation. This Side of Paradise
ensured immediate fame as well as notoriety for F. Scott
Fitzgerald. Not only Fitzgerald's bestselling novel during his
lifetime, it was also the work against which each of his later
novels was measured. It is impossible to overestimate the
importance of This Side of Paradise: without it, the writing career
of one of the twentieth-century's most popular novelists would have
been immeasurably different. Brilliant and original in style and
structure, brimful of literary experimentalism and fearless
originality, it was a spectacular launching for Fitzgerald's
career, and instantly stamped him as the bard of the Jazz Age.
