Summary |
"Irresistibly charming, recklessly brilliant, Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald epitomized everything that was beautiful and damned about the Jazz Age. But behind the legend, there was a highly complex and competitive marriage - a union not of opposites but almost of twins who both inspired and tormented each other, and who were ultimately destroyed by their shared fantasies. Now in this new book, Kendall Taylor tells the story of the Fitzgerald marriage as it has never been told before." "In Sometimes Madness Is Wisdom, Kendall Taylor has created the definitive Fitzgerald biography. Written with sympathy, original insight, and dazzling style - and featuring memorable appearances by Edmund Wilson, Gertrude Stein, and Ernest Hemingway, among others - this is a stunning portrait of a marriage, an age, and a fabulous but tragic woman."--BOOK JACKET |
