Experiencing failure and frustration in love and in his career, Blaine finds his youthful enthusiasm gradually giving way to disillusionment, cynicism and a life of dissolution. A critical account of its own era, introducing many themes which would be developed in later works, Fitzgerald’s first novel was an instant critical and commercial success, propelling him into the limelight as a literary celebrity.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandHeader accFont\" style=\"font-weight: bold; width: 952px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e9ebec; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; overflow: hidden; cursor: pointer; color: #005373; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MACMILLAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44459499683977,"sku":"9781847492227","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/69ae3cf2b541be834a7f79bfe3dd6ee4d7f40216.jpg?v=1756987856","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/this-side-of-paradise-alma-classics","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
