About This Novel
This is a novel that vividly reproduces the romantic history of the Fitzgeralds, bringing to life the glamorous Jazz Age. It is also a classic work that represents the transformation of Fitzgerald's artistic style from youth to maturity. "Beauty and Evil" is Fitzgerald's second novel in his creative career. It is also an ukiyo-e depicting the eastern elites of the Jazz Age. The novel is highly autobiographical, and the protagonist in the book is largely similar to the relationship between Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. Anthony Paige and Gloria - elegant and restrained, flirty and romantic, like a combination of black tea and chocolate; they pursue a luxurious and gorgeous upper-class life, rely on the wealth of the previous generation and do nothing to produce, and spend all their time in dissipation, causing their morals, economy, and health to be constantly distorted and degraded. "Beauty and Sin" is a mirror that reflects the author's autobiographical color; it is also a dazzling mockery of the greed of the American nouveau riche, the squandering of New York nightlife, and the waste of talent that blinds them.
